Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter {in} soul;

Which long for death, but it {cometh} not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; {long: Heb. wait}

{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. {I eat: Heb. my meat}
