20 “Why is (A)light given to him who is troubled,
And life to the bitter of soul,
21 Who [a](B)long for death, but there is none,
And dig for it more than for (C)hidden treasures,
22 Who are glad with joy,
And rejoice when they find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man (D)whose way is hidden,
And whom (E)God has hedged in?
24 For (F)my groaning comes at the sight of my food,
And (G)my roaring pours out like water.
25 For (H)the dread that I dread comes upon me,
And what I am afraid of befalls me.
26 I (I)am not complacent, nor am I quiet,
And I am not at rest, and raging comes.”
