Job 3:18-23 American Standard Version (ASV)

18. There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

19. The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.

20. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;

21. Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid 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 hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
