Holy Scripture

Job 7:18

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

In context

16For I shall not live forever, that I should patiently endure: Depart from me, for my life is vain.

17For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? Or that thou givest heed to him?

— Job 7:18 —

19How long dost thou not let me alone, Nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?

20If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? Why hast thou made me as thine accuser, And why am I a burden to thee?
