For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

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

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
