King James Version (KJV)

Job 3:23

“[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?”

Verse in context — Job 3

Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave?

[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
