23 Why is life given to a man
    whose way is hidden,(A)
    whom God has hedged in?(B)
24 For sighing(C) has become my daily food;(D)
    my groans(E) pour out like water.(F)
25 What I feared has come upon me;
    what I dreaded(G) has happened to me.(H)
26 I have no peace,(I) no quietness;
    I have no rest,(J) but only turmoil.”(K)

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

And what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.”
