job 14:15 "Thou wilt call, and I will answer Thee; Thou wilt long for the work of Thy hands.

< Job 14:14
Job 14:16 >

      15. namely, at the resurrection (Joh 5:28; Ps 17:15).
      have a desire to--literally, "become pale with anxious desire:" the same word is translated "sore longedst after" (Ge 31:30; Ps 84:2), implying the utter unlikelihood that God would leave in oblivion the "creature of His own hands so fearfully and wonderfully made." It is objected that if Job knew of a future retribution, he would make it the leading topic in solving the problem of the permitted afflictions of the righteous. But, (1) He did not intend to exceed the limits of what was clearly revealed; the doctrine was then in a vague form only; (2) The doctrine of God's moral government in this life, even independently of the future, needed vindication.
