“For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,”
Job 3:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 3:13
Job imagines that had he died at birth, 'then should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest.' He pictures death as peaceful rest contrasting with his current agony. This reflects the Old Testament understanding of Sheol as a place of rest for the dead, though without the fuller New Testament revelation of resurrection and judgment. Job's desire for death's rest reveals that suffering has made existence itself burdensome.
