{Men} (hoi anthr(9370)oi). Generic use of the article (men as a
class). {Shall not find it} (ou m(8820)heur(8873)ousin auton). Strong
double negative ou m(885c) with the future active indicative
according to Aleph Q, but heur(9373)in (second aorist active
subjunctive) according to A P (either construction regular). The
idea here is found in Job 3:21 Jer 8:3 . "Such a death as they
desire, a death which will end their sufferings, is impossible;
physical death is no remedy for the asanismos of an evil
conscience" (Swete). {They shall desire to die} (epithum(8873)ousin
apothanein). Future active of epithume(935c), a climax to
z(8874)(8873)ousin (they shall seek), to desire vehemently. Paul in
Php 1:23 shows a preference for death if his work is done, in
order to be with Christ, a very different feeling from what we
have here. {Fleeth} (pheugei). Vivid futuristic present active
indicative of pheug(935c). Even death does not come to their relief.
