13 For now I should have lain still and been quiet; I should have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14 with the kings and the counsellors of the earth, who built desolate places for themselves;
15 or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or, why was I not hidden as an untimely birth, as infants who never saw light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together, they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master.
