“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…”
Hesychius of Jerusalem, 5th c. — HOMILIES ON JOB 10.7.18

15So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
16I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
— Job 7:17 —
18And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
19How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
