Job 3:21-26 New English Translation (NET)

21. to those who wait for death that does not come,and search for it more than for hidden treasures,

22. who rejoice even to jubilation,and are exultant when they find the grave?

23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,and whom God has hedged in?

24. For my sighing comes in place of my food,and my groanings flow forth like water.

25. For the very thing I dreaded has happened to me, and what I feared has come upon me.

26. I have no ease, I have no quietness;I cannot rest; turmoil has come upon me.”
