Job 3:19
Verse 19 of 26. The 3rd of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
15or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
16or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
17There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20“Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
