Job 3:17

“There the wicked cease [from] troubling, etc.] 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 any, and are quite still and inactive; such who have been troublers of good men, as profane persons by their ungodly lives, false teachers by their pernicious doctrines and blasphemies, cruel persecutors by their hard speeches, bitter calumnies and reproaches, and severe usage; those, when they die themselves, cease from giving further…”

“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).”

“There the wicked cease - from “troubling.” In the grave - where kings and princes and infants lie. This verse is often applied to heaven, and the language is such as will express the condition of that blessed world. But as used by Job it had no such reference. It relates only to the grave. It is language which beautifully expresses the condition of the dead, and the “desirableness” even of an abode in the tomb. They who are there, are free from the vexations and annoyances to which people are exposed in this life. The wicked cannot torture their limbs by the fires of persecution, or wound their feelings by slander, or oppress and harass them in regard to their property, or distress them by…”

“There - In the grave. The wicked - The great oppressors and troublers of the world cease from their vexations, rapins and murders. Weary - Those who were here molested and tired out with their tyrannies, now quietly sleep with them. Job 3:18”

“the wicked: Job 14:13; Psa 55:5-8; Mat 10:28; Luk 12:4; Th2 1:6, Th2 1:7; Pe2 2:8 the weary: Heb. the wearied in strength at rest: Isa 57:1, Isa 57:2; Heb 4:9, Heb 4:11; Rev 14:13 Job 3:18”

“17 There the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest. 18 The captives dwell together in tranquillity; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster. 19 The small and great, - they are alike there; And the servant is free from his lord. There, i.e., in the grave, all enjoy the rest they could not find here: the troublers and the troubled ones alike. רגן corresponds to the radical idea of looseness, broken in pieces, want of restraint, therefore of Turba (comp. Isa 57:20; Jer 6:7), contained etymologically in רשׁע. The Pilel שׁאנן vid., Ges. 55, 2) signifies perfect freedom from care. In הוּא שׁם, הוּא is more than the sign of the copula (Hirz., Hahn, Schlottm.); the rendering of…”
