The King James Version Bible

Job 3:14-21

  1. With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;

  2. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

  3. Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

  4. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

  5. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

  6. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

  7. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

  8. Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
