American Standard Version
"Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures; "
— Job 3:21, American Standard Version
“Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;”
“Who long for death, but it doesn't come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,”
“to those who wait for death that does not come, and search for it more than for hidden treasures,”
“That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:”
“To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;”
“Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;”
There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
Why is light givento a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
