Job 3:20-26 - Job Wishes He Might Die

20 "Why does God give light to the sufferer or life to the bitter person: 21 To those who are longing for death even though it does not come? To those who search for it more than for hidden treasure? 22 To those who are happy beyond measure when they reach their graves? 23 To the formerly successful man who lost his way in life, and God fenced him in? 24 "As far as I'm concerned, my food comes to me in the form of sighs, and my cries of anguish pour out like water. 25 For the dreaded thing that I feared has happened to me, what caused me to worry has engulfed me. 26 I will not be at ease; I will not be quiet; I will not rest; because trouble has arrived."
