Job 3:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Why wasn’t I buried like a baby who was born dead?
    Why wasn’t I buried like a child who never saw the light of day?
¹⁷ In the grave, sinful people don’t cause trouble anymore.
    And there tired people find rest.
¹⁸ Prisoners also enjoy peace there.
    They don’t hear a slave driver shouting at them anymore.
