Job 3:17-26

1. 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

2. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

3. 19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

4. 20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

5. 21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

6. 22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

7. 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

8. 24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

9. 25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

10. 26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
