Job 3:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Or why was I not buried like a child born dead?
    I wish I were like a baby who never saw the light of day.
¹⁷ In the grave the wicked stop causing trouble.
    And people who are tired are at rest.
¹⁸ In the grave there is rest for the captives.
    They no longer hear the shout of the slave driver.
