Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Anhelan desesperadamente la muerte, pero no llega; la buscan con más ansias que las personas buscan tesoros enterrados.
Algunas personas desean tanto la muerte que la buscan con más desesperación que un tesoro escondido.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Job, which is set in the ancient Near East during the patriarchal period, Job is a righteous man enduring immense suffering after losing his wealth, health, and family as part of a divine test allowed by God. In Job 3:21, as he sits in his anguish, Job expresses a deep desire for death as an escape from his pain, comparing it to searching for buried treasures, which highlights the cultural view of death as a potential release in times of unrelenting hardship. This verse fits into the broader biblical narrative that grapples with the problem of innocent suffering and God's sovereignty.
