Job 27:15

buried in death "Death" is here, as often (Jeremiah 15:2; Jeremiah 18:21; Jeremiah 43:11) pestilence. Those that sword and famine spare (Job 27:14) become the prey of the pestilence, and their burial shall be such as those so dying receive, without funeral rites and with no accompaniment of lamenting women. This idea is more distinctly expressed in the next clause, "his widows shall not weep"; comp. Psalms 78:64. Comp. Job's previous words as to the "burial" of the wicked, ch. Job 21:32.
