"Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,

Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?

"'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.

to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):

You haven't given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.

Out of whose womb came the ice? The gray frost of the sky, who has given birth to it?

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?

"Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?

Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.
