Job 3
²⁰ "Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul,
²¹ Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures;
²² Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad when they can 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 before I eat, And my groanings pour out like water.
²⁵ For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.
²⁶ I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes."
Job 4

³ Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands.
⁴ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;
