"Why is light givento a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in? "
— Job 3:23, American Standard Version
“Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?”
“Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?”
“Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in?”
“To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?”
“To a man whose way is veiled, and who is shut in by God?”
“Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?”
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
Why is light givento a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.
