New Testament

Iyov 3:17-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

17. There the resha'im cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest.

18. There the asirim (prisoners, captives) rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

19. The katon and gadol are there; and the eved is free from his adon.

20. Why is ohr given to him that is in misery, and chayyim unto the bitter in nefesh;

21. Which long for mavet, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

22. Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the kever?

23. Why is ohr given to a gever whose derech is hidden, and whom Elohim hath hedged in?
