19. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20. Therefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21. Who long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
22. Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?
24. For my sighing comes before I eat, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.
25. For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has come unto me.
26. I was not at ease, neither had I quiet, neither was I at rest; yet trouble came.
