Job 3:20 - Robertson's Book Notes (NT)

Job 3:20

Compare all

18 There the prisoners¹ rest together;
^aThey do not hear the voice of the oppressor.

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

20 “Why^a is light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the ^bbitter of soul,

21 Who ^along for death, but it does not come,
And search for it more than ^bhidden treasures;

22 Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find the ^agrave?

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
^aAnd whom God has hedged in?

24 For my sighing comes before¹ I eat,
And my groanings pour out like water.

25 For the thing I greatly ^afeared has come upon me,
And what I dreaded has happened to me.
