- 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.

- Who long for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
- Who rejoice greatly, And exult when they find the grave?
- "Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?
- "For my groaning comes at the sight of my food, And my cries pour out like water.
- "For what I fear comes upon me, And what I dread befalls me.
