Job 3:17 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 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 labors of the slave, are here put in opposition.

Job 3:17

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearyd be at rest.
