Job 3:18-24
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

18The prisoners are at ease together; They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster. 19The small and the great are there, And the slave is free from his master. 20'Why is light given to one burdened with grief, And life to the bitter of soul, 21Who long for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures; 22Who are filled with jubilation, And rejoice when they find the grave? 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has shut off? 24For my groaning comes at the sight of my food, And my cries pour out like water.
King James Version

Chapter 3

18There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 20Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 3

18The captives are completely at rest; they do not hear a taskmaster’s voice.
19Both small and great are there, and the slave is set free from his master. 20Why is light given to one burdened with grief, and life to those whose existence is bitter, 21who wait for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than for hidden treasure, 22who are filled with much joy and are glad when they reach the grave? 23Why is life given to a man whose path is hidden, whom God has hedged in? 24I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.
New Living Translation

Chapter 3

18Even captives are at ease in death, with no guards to curse them. 19Rich and poor are both there, and the slave is free from his master.
20'Oh, why give light to those in misery, and life to those who are bitter? 21They long for death, and it won’t come. They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure. 22They’re filled with joy when they finally die, and rejoice when they find the grave. 23Why is life given to those with no future, those God has surrounded with difficulties? 24I cannot eat for sighing; my groans pour out like water.
English Standard Version

Chapter 3

18There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster. 19The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master. 20"Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, 21who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures, 22who rejoice exceedingly and are glad when they find the grave? 23Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? 24For my sighing comes instead of my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
New International Version

Chapter 3

18Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver’s shout.
19The small and the great are there, and the slaves are freed from their owners. 20"Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul, 21to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure, 22who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave? 23Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? 24For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water.
New King James Version

Chapter 3

18 There the prisoners rest together; They do not hear the voice of the oppressor. 19The small and great are there, And the servant is free from his master. 20“Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul, 21Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures; 22Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad when they can find the grave? 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in? 24For my sighing comes before I eat, And my groanings pour out like water.
