'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; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

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

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

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

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

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