'Wherefore' in the Bible
Wherefore did I not die from the womb, come forth from the belly and expire?
Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?
Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,
I will say unto +God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou strivest with me.
And wherefore didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? I had expired, and no eye had seen me.
Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, and countest me for thine enemy?
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed stupid in your sight?
As for me, is my complaint to a man? or wherefore should not my spirit be impatient?
Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.
