¹⁶ Why was I not ·buried [^Lhidden] like a ·child born dead [stillborn],
    like a baby who never saw the light of day?
¹⁷ In the grave the wicked ·stop making trouble [or cease their agitation],
    and the weary workers are at rest.
¹⁸ In the grave there is rest for the ·captives [prisoners]
    who no longer hear the ·shout [^Lvoice] of the ·slave driver [taskmaster].
