Job 3:18 Context
16Or as an hidden vntimely birth, I had not bene; as infants which neuer saw light. 17There the wicked cease from troubling: and there the wearie be at rest. 18There the prisoners rest together, they heare not the voice of the oppressour. 19The small and great are there, and the seruant is free from his master. 20Wherefore is light giuen to him that is in misery, and life vnto the bitter in soule?

Wesley's Notes for Job 3:18
3:18 The oppressor - Or, taskmaster, who urges and forces them to work by cruel threatenings and stripes. Job meddles not here with their eternal state after death, of which he speaks hereafter, but only their freedom from worldly troubles, which is the sole matter of his present discourse.
