Job 3:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ Why is life given to those who long for death that doesn’t come?
    Why is it given to those who would rather search for death
    than for hidden treasure?
²² Why is life given to those who are actually happy and glad
    when they reach the grave?
²³ Why is life given to a man like me?
    God hasn’t told me what will happen to me.
    He has surrounded me with nothing but trouble.
