SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:17
Allí los impíos dejaron el miedo, y allí descansaron los de cansadas fuerzas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 3:17
Verse 17. There the wicked cease ] In the grave the oppressors of men cease from irritating, harassing, and distressing their fellow creatures and dependents. And there the weary be at rest. ] Those who were worn out with the cruelties and tyrannies of the above. The troubles and the troubled, the restless and the submissive, the toils of the great and the labours of the slave, are here put in opposition.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-19 - Job complained of those present at his birth, for their tende attention to him. No creature comes into the world so helpless as man God's power and providence upheld our frail lives, and his pity an patience spared our forfeited lives. Natural affection is put int parents' hearts by God. To desire to die that we may be with Christ that we may be free from sin, is the effect and evidence of grace; but to desire to die, only that we may be delivered from the troubles of this life, savours of corruption. It is our wisdom and duty to make the best of that which is, be it living or dying; and so to live to the Lord, and die to the Lord, as in both to be his, Ro 14:8. Observe ho Job describes the repose of the grave; There the wicked cease from troubling. When persecutors die, they can no longer persecute. Ther the weary are at rest: in the grave they rest from all their labours And a rest from sin, temptation, conflict, sorrows, and labours remains in the presence and enjoyment of God. There believers rest i Jesus, nay, as far as we trust in the Lord Jesus and obey him, we her find rest to our souls, though in the world we have tribulation.
