Job 3:20-22
International Standard Version

20 “Why does God[a] give light to the sufferer
    or life to the bitter person:
21 To those who are longing for death—
    even though it does not come?
To those who search for it
    more than for hidden treasure?
22 To those who are happy beyond measure[b]
    when they reach their graves?
