Job 3:23 - John Wesley's Notes

Job 3:23

Compare all

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.

26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.”

Job 3:23

Hid - From him; who knows not his way, which way to turn himself, what course to take to comfort himself in his miseries. Hedged in - Whom God hath put as it were in a prison, so that he can see no way or possibility of escape.
