Holy Scripture
Job 7:17
A church father on this verse
“It is necessary, actually, to call that time "morning," because it is entirely light and drives the night away from this life. "You judge them for the time of rest," that is, not for the torments but for the delights and the reward. He, who is now constantly worthy of the "visit" of God, will receive then his judgment…”

In context
15Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; And yet keep my bones from death.
16For I shall not live forever, that I should patiently endure: Depart from me, for my life is vain.
— Job 7:17 —
18Wilt thou visit him till the morning, And judge him till the time of rest?
19How long dost thou not let me alone, Nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?
