Holy Scripture
Job 3:23
A church father on this verse
“"Death is rest for man." This is what Job declares. Now if death brings rest, why don't the majority of people rush to it? Because God has made life desirable in order to prevent us from running to death. "Its way is hidden." In my opinion Job is speaking about death, but by pretending that his words are about the way…”

In context
21Who desire death, and obtain it not, Digging for it as for treasures;
22And would be very joyful if they should gain it?
— Job 3:23 —
24For my groaning comes before my food, And I weep being beset with terror.
25For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, And that which I had feared has befallen me.
