Bible verse
The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
Job 3:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 3.
14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,
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?
17 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.
20 Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,
22 who rejoice and greatly exult when they can find the grave?
KJV
[There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
ASV
There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
ERV
There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
