Job 3:20-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
20
'Why is light given to one burdened with grief,
And life to the bitter of soul,
21
Who long for death, but there is none,
And dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
22
Who are filled with jubilation,
And
rejoice when they find the grave?
23
Why is light given
to a man whose way is hidden,
And whom God has shut off?
24
For my groaning comes at the sight of my food,
And my cries pour out like water.
25
For what I fear comes upon me,
And what I dread encounters me.
King James Version
Chapter 3
20
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21
Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22
Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
20
Why is light given to one burdened with grief,
and life to those whose existence is bitter,
21
who wait for death, but it does not come,
and search for it more than for hidden treasure,
22
who are filled with much joy
and are glad when they reach the grave?
23
Why is life given to a man whose path is hidden,
whom God has hedged in?
24
I sigh when food is put before me,
and my groans pour out like water.
25
For the thing I feared has overtaken me,
and what I dreaded has happened to me.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
20
'Oh, why give light to those in misery,
and life to those who are bitter?
21
They long for death, and it won’t come.
They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure.
22
They’re filled with joy when they finally die,
and rejoice when they find the grave.
23
Why is life given to those with no future,
those God has surrounded with difficulties?
24
I cannot eat for sighing;
my groans pour out like water.
25
What I always feared has happened to me.
What I dreaded has come true.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
20
"Why is light given to him who is in misery,
and life to the bitter in soul,
21
who long for death, but it comes not,
and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22
who rejoice exceedingly
and are glad when they find the grave?
23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
whom God has hedged in?
24
For my sighing comes instead of my bread,
and my groanings are poured out like water.
25
For the thing that I fear comes upon me,
and what I dread befalls me.
New International Version
Chapter 3
20
"Why is light given to those in misery,
and life to the bitter of soul,
21
to those who long for death that does not come,
who search for it more than for hidden treasure,
22
who are filled with gladness
and rejoice when they reach the grave?
23
Why is life given to a man
whose way is hidden,
whom God has hedged in?
24
For sighing has become my daily food;
my groans pour out like water.
25
What I feared has come upon me;
what I dreaded has happened to me.
New King James Version
Chapter 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.
