The Key Word — רְ֭שָׁעִים, Re.sha.'imgenerated
The term רָשָׁע (rasha`) refers to individuals who are wicked or guilty of wrongdoing. It is a masculine plural noun, indicating a group of people characterized by moral failure. The word is derived from a root that implies moral wrongdoing and is often used in biblical contexts to describe those who oppose God.
In this verse, it emphasizes the cessation of their turmoil in death, suggesting that their wicked actions have consequences that end with their lives.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses wicked for רְ֭שָׁעִים. The KJV and ASV agree on this rendering, maintaining the moral implications of the term.
Where they part company is with the word שָׁם — the BSB has there, while the FBV opts for in the grave, reflecting a different interpretation of the location.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two main clauses, each with a finite verb. The first clause, חָ֣דְלוּ, they cease, describes the wicked's cessation of turmoil, while the second clause, יָ֝נ֗וּחוּ, they rest, speaks of the weary finding peace. The structure emphasizes the contrast between the two groups and their respective states in death.
The use of adverbial phrases at the beginning of each clause, שָׁ֣ם and וְשָׁ֥ם, positions the location as a key element in understanding the cessation of turmoil and the finding of rest.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates רְ֭שָׁעִים as ἀσεβεῖς, which carries a similar meaning of wickedness but may imply a broader sense of ungodliness. This choice reflects an interpretation that aligns with the moral implications of the term in the Hebrew text.
For חָ֣דְלוּ, the Greek ἐχέκαυσαν suggests a more active cessation, indicating a strong end to their turmoil.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Job 3:17 states, 'There the wicked cease from raging, and there the weary find rest,' which is a direct and clear expression of the thought. The Septuagint, while it has a different word order and articles, matches 6 out of the 8 words in meaning, indicating a general agreement with the Masoretic Text. However, the specific wording and structure differ, as the Septuagint often reflects a more interpretive translation style. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional variants for this verse, so the primary comparison remains between the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint.
שָׁ֣ם רְ֭שָׁעִים חָ֣דְלוּ רֹ֑גֶז וְשָׁ֥ם יָ֝נ֗וּחוּ יְגִ֣יעֵי כֹֽחַ׃
6 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
