Job3:21

21. Which long for death, but it cometh not, and [dig for it ] more than for hid Treasures.

i. e. Desire and pray for it with as much earnestness as men dig for Treasure: But it is observable, that Iob durst not lay violent Hands upon himself, nor do any thing to hasten or procure his Death, but notwithstanding all his Miseries and Complaints, he was contented to wait all the days of his appointed time, till his change came, Ch. 14. 14.

Marginal references: Heb. wait. Rev. 9. 6.
