Holy Scripture
Job 24:23
A church father on this verse
“"When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover, but let him perish by disease." The diseases of the body, in fact, often occur because of sin. "Let him not hope," that is, the lack of hope is due to the consciousness of his sins. "Let him perish" by disease, that is, by the blows of calamity.”

In context
21For he has not treated the barren woman well, And has had no pity on a feeble woman.
22And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: Therefore when he has arisen, a man will not feel secure of his own life.
— Job 24:23 —
24For his exaltation has hurt many; But he has withered as mallows in the heat, Or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
25But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, And will make my words of no account?
