Job 3:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ Why wasn’t I a child who died at birth
    and was put in the ground?
I wish I had been buried like a baby
    who never saw the light of day.
¹⁷ There the wicked stop causing trouble,
    and the weary find rest.
¹⁸ Even prisoners find relief there;
    they no longer hear their guards shouting at them.
