Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Job 3:21:

    he wants death very much instead of wealth.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

    They seek for it more than for wealth buried in the earth.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

    They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
