Job 3:24

24 For my sighing comes {before} my bread, and my groanings gush forth like water

Job 3:24 In-Context

22 who rejoice {exceedingly}, [and] they are glad when they find [the] grave?
23 [Why does he give light] to a man whose way is hidden, and God has fenced him in [all] around?
24 For my sighing comes {before} my bread, and my groanings gush forth like water
25 because the dread that I {feel} has come upon me, and what I feared befalls me.
26 I am not at ease, and I am not at peace, and I do not have rest, thus turmoil has come."
