13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest-- 14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves; 15 Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver; 16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; As infants that never saw light. 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest. 18 There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster. 19 The small and great are there alike; And the servant is free from his master.
