Job 3:20

Job Wishes He Might Die

¹⁹ The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his master. ²⁰ Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul; ²¹ To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;
