Job 3:13-25
-
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
-
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
-
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
-
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
-
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
-
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
-
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
-
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
-
21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
-
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
-
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
-
24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
-
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
