Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
Job 3:23 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 3.
19 Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
20 Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,
22 who rejoice and greatly exult when they can find the grave?
23 Why is life given to a man whose way 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 befallen me.
26 I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.”
