Job 21:21

For what is it to him what befalleth his house after him: and if the number of his months be diminished by one half?

And if. Hebrew, "when" he is cut off in the midst of his days: he does not regard the happiness or misery of those whom he leaves behind. (Haydock) --- The children are rather taken away for his punishment, while he is living, as their misery would not touch him in the grave. (Menochius)
