Job 3:20

"Why is light given to him who suffers, and life to the bitter of soul": For the fourth time in this speech, Job asked "why?". At this moment it did not make any sense to him that God would give life to someone who like himself was so miserable and in so much pain. In this passage "light" equals "life". "Why is. miserable man forced to continue on the earth to see the light of day?" "Man often speaks as if he were wiser than his Maker, and could have much improved the system of the universe, if he had had the arranging of it" (P.P. Comm. p. 52).
