“"Or like a stillborn child that never sees the light," he says. Notice how, in order that he may not appear to be arrogant, he even compares himself with a stillborn child, so absolutely wretched and pitiful is he.”

14With kings and counselors of the earth, Who gloried in their swords;

15Or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, Who filled their houses with silver:

— Job 3:16 —

17There the ungodly have burned out the fury of rage; There the wearied in body rest.

18And the men of old time have together Ceased to hear the exactor’s voice.
