18:003:013 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have
slept: then had I been at rest,
18:003:014 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate
places for themselves;
18:003:015 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with
silver:
18:003:016 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants
which never saw light.
18:003:017 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be
at rest.
18:003:018 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of
the oppressor.
18:003:019 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from
his master.
18:003:020 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life
unto the bitter in soul;
18:003:021 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more
than for hid treasures;
18:003:022 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find
the grave?
