Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: (3:15) Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which] never saw light (3:16) There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at rest (3:17) [There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor (3:18) The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from his master (3:19) Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul; (3:20) Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; (3:21) Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave? (3:22) [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? (3:23) For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters (3:24) For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me (3:25) I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came
(3:26)
