Job 3:23 Context
21Which long for death, but it commeth not, and dig for it more then for hid treasures: 22Which reioice exceedingly, and are glad when they can finde the graue? 23Why is light giuen to a man, whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? 24For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the waters. 25For the thing which I greatly feared is come vpon me, and that which I was afraid of, is come vnto me.

Wesley's Notes for Job 3:23
3:23 Hid - From him; who knows not his way, which way to turn himself, what course to take to comfort himself in his miseries. Hedged in - Whom God hath put as it were in a prison, so that he can see no way or possibility of escape.
