Rest and sabbathExhaustionDeath and loss

15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.

16 Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like an infant who never sees daylight?

There the wicked cease from raging, and there the weary find rest.

18 The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.

19 Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
