Job 3:13-19 ▼

13 “For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest [in death],

14 With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up [now desolate] ruins for themselves;

15 Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver.

16 “Or like a miscarriage which is hidden and put away, I would not exist, Like infants who never saw light.

17 “There [in death] the wicked cease from raging, And there the weary are at rest.

18 “There the prisoners rest together; They do not hear the taskmaster’s voice.

19 “The small and the great are there, And the servant is free from his master.
