There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.
Job, perhaps reflecting upon himself for his folly in wishing he had never been born, follows it, and thinks to mend it, with another, little better, that he had died as soon as he was born, which he enlarges upon in these verses.
Commenting on Job 3:11-19
There the wicked cease from troubling,.... At death, and in the grave; such who have been like the troubled sea, that cannot rest, have always been either devising or doing mischief while living, in the grave can do neither; there is no work nor device there; such who are never easy, and cannot sleep unless they do mischief, when dead have no power to do...
the wicked--the original meaning, "those ever restless," "full of desires" (Isa 57:20-21). the weary--literally, "those whose strength is wearied out" (Rev 14:13).
