Job 3:23 in context

  1. 21Who long for death, but it doesn’t come;
    and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
  2. 22who rejoice exceedingly,
    and are glad, when they can find the grave?
  3. 23Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
    whom God has hedged in?
  4. 24For my sighing comes before I eat.
    My groanings are poured out like water.
  5. 25For the thing which I fear comes on me,
    That which I am afraid of comes to me.
