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

There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19
The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21
Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;*
22
Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
