"who expect death, and it does not arrive, like those who dig for treasure "
— Job 3:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;”
“Who 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;”
And at such times, having been bound together without difficulty, they have not heard the voice of the bailiff.

who expect death, and it does not arrive, like those who dig for treasure
and who rejoice greatly when they have found the grave,
to a man whose way is hidden and whom God has surrounded with darkness?
Before I eat, I sigh; and like overflowing waters, so is my howl,
