Job 3:20 in Context — Job 3
18 Ali os prisioneiros juntamente repousam; [e] não ouvem a voz do opressor.
19 Ali estão o pequeno e o grande; e o servo livre [está] de seu senhor.
20 Por que se dá luz ao sofredor, e vida aos amargos de alma,
21 Que esperam a morte, e ela não chega, e que a buscam mais que tesouros;
22 Que saltam de alegram e ficam contentes quando acham a sepultura?
