Job 29:18

Then I said -So prosperous was I, and so permanent seemed my sources of happiness. I saw no reason why all this should not continue, and why the same respect and honor should not attend me to the grave. I shall die in my nest -I shall remain where I am, and in my present comforts, while I live. I shall then die surrounded by my family and friends, and encompassed with honors. A “nest” is an image of quietness, harmlessness, and comfort. So Spenser speaks of a nest: Fayre bosome! fraught with virtue’s richest tresure, The neast of love, the lodging of delight, The bowre of bliss, the paradise of pleasure.
