Job 3:16-26

16 Or why was I not buried like a stillborn child, like an infant that never sees the light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.
18 There the prisoners are at ease together; they do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 The small and the great are there, and the slaves are free from their masters.
20 "Why is light given to one in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,
21 who long for death, but it does not come, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave?
23 Why is light given to one who cannot see the way, whom God has fenced in?
24 For my sighing comes like my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
25 Truly the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest; but trouble comes."
