In context
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21 who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to me.
26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”
