Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,

In context

18 The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.

19 Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.

20 Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,

21 who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,

22 who rejoice and greatly exult when they can find the grave?
