13 For now I would have lain still and been quiet,
I would have been asleep;
Then I would have been at rest
14 With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who (A)built ruins for themselves,
15 Or with princes who had gold,
Who filled their houses with silver;
16 Or why was I not hidden (B)like a stillborn child,
Like infants who never saw light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling,
And there the [a]weary are at (C)rest.
