14 with the kings and counselors of the earth,who rebuilt ruined cities for themselves,
15 or with princes who had gold,who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not hidden like a miscarried child, like infants who never see daylight?
17 There the wicked cease to make trouble,and there the weary find rest.
18 The captives are completely at ease; they do not hear the voice of their oppressor.
19 Both small and great are there,and the slave is set free from his master.
20 Why is light given to one burdened with grief,and life to those whose existence is bitter,
