Job 3:20-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. “Why is light given to the miserable,and life unto the bitter in soul,

21. who look for death, but it is not there;and they search for it more than for hidden treasures;

22. who rejoice exceedingly,and they are glad when they find the grave?

23. And why is light given to a manwhose way is hidden,whom God has hedged in?

24. For my sighing comes before I eat,and my groaning pours forth like the waters.

25. For the thing which I greatly feared has happened to me,and that which I dreaded has come to me.

26. I am not at peace; I have no quiet,I cannot rest, and turmoil has come.”
