'Wherefore' in the Bible

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight?

Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

Wherefore I abhor myself , And repent in dust and ashes.
