"Before I eat, I sigh; and like overflowing waters, so is my howl, "
— Job 3:24, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.”
“For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water. ”
“For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.”
“For my sighing comes in place of my food, and my groanings flow forth like water.”
“Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:”
“In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.”
“For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.”
who expect death, and it does not arrive, like those who dig for treasure
and who rejoice greatly when they have found the grave,
to a man whose way is hidden and whom God has surrounded with darkness?
Before I eat, I sigh; and like overflowing waters, so is my howl,
for the terror that I feared has happened to me, and so has the dread befallen me.
Have I not remained hidden? Have I not kept silence? Have I not remained calm? Yet indignation has overcome me.
