“There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.”
Job 3:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 3:18
In death, 'the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.' Job pictures Sheol as a place where even prisoners find rest from their harsh taskmasters. The 'oppressor' (Hebrew 'nagas'—taskmaster/slave driver) cannot reach beyond death. This reflects how Job's suffering has made him feel imprisoned by pain, longing for the rest even prisoners find in death. It anticipates the Christian hope that death frees believers from sin's oppression (Romans 6:7).
