For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then would I have been at rest,
All Commentaries on Job 3:13 Go To Job 3
Hesychius of Jerusalem
AD 433
To enjoy the beauty of God’s creation is desirable. It is a good thing to become a human being and to receive the image of God. It is not good to linger in an impure life. Many people are fascinated by an impure life, but not the righteous. Therefore, the departure from this world is no reason for sadness, for death is rest and deliverance from pain. Death is sleep. To depart from one’s body is rest.
