Job 3:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     Why was I not buried in secret as a baby born still,
        as a newborn who never saw light?
¹⁷     In the sleep of death, the wicked can do no more damage;
        the weary ones at last find rest.
¹⁸     In death the captives are freed, together at ease,
        and the shouts of their oppressors die along with them.
