# Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, a man whom God has hedged in?

Job asks this question in order to make a statement. Alternate translation: "God should not give life to a man and then take away his future and confine him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# Why is light given to a man

Here light represents life. Alternate translation: "Why does God keep a man alive" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# whose way is hidden

Here Job speaks of his future, which he does not know in advance, as if God had hidden it from him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# a man whom God has hedged in

Here being in difficulties and dangers is spoken of as if it were being confined within narrow limits. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
