Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

Job 3:22 (KJV)

Commentary on Job 3:22

Job describes the bitter paradox: sufferers 'rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave.' The Hebrew 'sus' (rejoice exceedingly) and 'samach' (are glad) are normally used for positive celebrations—weddings, victories, deliverances. Job inverts this language: finding the grave becomes the occasion for celebration. This reflects how intense suffering can completely reverse normal human desires and values.
