Job:3:13-26

Seeker Overlay ON

* For now should I have lain still and been quiet , I should have slept : then had I been at rest , * With kings and counsellors of the earth , which built desolate places for themselves ; * Or with princes that had gold , who filled their houses with silver : * Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been ; as infants which never saw light . * There the wicked cease from troubling ; and there the weary be at rest . * There the prisoners rest together ; they hear not the voice of the oppressor . * The small and great are there ; and the servant is free from his master . * Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery , and life unto the bitter in soul ; * Which long for death , but it cometh not ; and dig for it more than for hid treasures ; * Which rejoice exceedingly , and are glad , when they can find the grave ? * Why is light given to a man whose way is hid , and whom God hath hedged in ? * For my sighing cometh before I eat , and my roarings are poured out like the waters . * For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me , and that which I was afraid of is come unto me . * I was not in safety , neither had I rest , neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came .
