Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,

who long for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than hidden treasures;

that it would please God to crush me, that He would loose His hand and cut me off!

so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my body.

O that You would hide me in Sheol, that You would conceal me until Your wrath is turned back, that You would appoint me a decree, and remember me!

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall by no means escape.
