Job 3:20-25

GNTA

NIV

20 Why let people go on living in misery? Why give light to those in grief?
20 “Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 They wait for death, but it never comes; they prefer a grave to any treasure.
21 to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure,
22 They are not happy till they are dead and buried;
22 who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?
23 God keeps their future hidden and hems them in on every side.
23 Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 Instead of eating, I mourn, and I can never stop groaning.
24 For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water.
25 Everything I fear and dread comes true.
25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.
