17 There must the wicked ceasse from their tyrannie, and there such as laboured valiauntly be at rest: 18 There the prisoners rest together, they heare no more the voyce of the oppressour: 19 There are small and great, and the seruaunt is free from his maister. 20 Wherefore is the light geuen to hym that is in miserie? & lyfe vnto them that haue heauy heartes? 21 Whiche long for death and finde it not, though they search more for it than for treasures: 22 Which reioyce exceedingly, and be glad when they can finde the graue, 23 From whom their endes are hyd, and consealed by God? 24 For my sighes come before I eate, and my roringes are powred out like the water: 25 For the thing that I feared is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afrayde of is happened vnto me, 26 Was I not happy? Had I not quietnesse? Was I not in rest? And nowe commeth such miserie vpon me. Job 3:17-26, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
