There the wicked cease from troubling.

There the weary are at rest.

There the prisoners are at ease together.

They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.

The servant is free from his master.

Selected verse

“Why is light given to him who is in misery,

life to the bitter in soul,

21

who long for death, but it doesn’t come;

and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

22

who rejoice exceedingly,

and are glad, when they can find the grave?

23

Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,

whom God has hedged in?
