• 20 “Why does he[fn] give light to one in misery and life to those bitter of soul,
• 21 who wait for death, but[fn] it does not come ,[fn] and search[fn] for it more than for treasures,
• 22 who rejoice exceedingly ,[fn] and they are glad when they find the grave?
• 23 Why does he to a man whose way is hidden, and God has fenced him in all around?

• 26 I am not at ease, and I am not at peace, and I do not have rest, thus[fn] turmoil has come.”
