Job 3:17-22

17For in death the wicked cause no trouble, and the weary are at rest.

18Even captives are at ease in death, with no guards to curse them.

19Rich and poor are both there, and the slave is free from his master.

20“Oh, why give light to those in misery, and life to those who are bitter?

21They long for death, and it won’t come. They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure.

22They’re filled with joy when they finally die, and rejoice when they find the grave.
