הַֽמְחַכִּ֣ים לַמָּ֣וֶת וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ וַֽ֝יַּחְפְּרֻ֗הוּ מִמַּטְמוֹנִֽים׃
yang merindukan maut, tetapi maut tidak kunjung datang, dan mereka menggali mencarinya lebih daripada mencari harta terpendam,
Rashi
Who await death to those of bitter spirit, who long for and desire death and complain, saying, “it is not here.”
Malbim
Malbim pictures the irony of the desperate and destitute man, who spends his entire life longing for the release of death, and who, upon discovering buried treasure in his old age, is buried alive when the walls of the pit in which he found the treasure cave in on him. Such is the caprice of destiny.
Rashi
more than after hidden treasures More than people spy after hidden treasures.
