Verse 21 is found in chapter 3 of Job. Job asks why life is given to those who suffer and wait for death. The section ends by revealing that his anguish is not an isolated episode: what he feared has happened, and his peace has disappeared. The language portrays an experience of existential disorientation in which even the life granted by God seems difficult to understand.
