Job 3:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ My parents should have buried me,
    like a child that is born dead.
    I would never have seen the light of day.
¹⁷ After death, wicked people can no longer cause any trouble.
    People who have become tired can rest.
¹⁸ Even prisoners can enjoy a time of peace.
    No guards are there to shout at them.
