Job 3:13-19
New International Version
Job 3:13-19
New International Version
13 For now I would be lying down(A) in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest(B)
14 with kings and rulers of the earth,(C)
who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,(D)
15 with princes(E) who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.(F)
16 Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child,(G)
like an infant who never saw the light of day?(H)
17 There the wicked cease from turmoil,(I)
and there the weary are at rest.(J)
18 Captives(K) also enjoy their ease;
they no longer hear the slave driver’s(L) shout.(M)
19 The small and the great are there,(N)
and the slaves are freed from their owners.

King James Version
Job 3:13-19
King James Version
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

13 For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14 with kings and counselors of the earth
who (A)rebuilt ruins for themselves,
15 or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not as a hidden (B)stillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling,
and there the weary are at (C)rest.

they hear not the voice of (D)the taskmaster.
19 The small and the great are there,
and the slave is free from his master.
