Job 14:15

Job 14:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee; rather, thou shouldest call, and I would answer thee (see the Revised Version). In that case, when I quitted Hades, and renewed my life, thou wouldst assuredly summon me to thee, and I would respond to the summons.

There would be sweet colloquy between us; for thou wilt (or, rather, wouldest) have a desire to the work of thine hands (comp. ). Job assumes that God must love whatever he has created, and be drawn towards it by a secret, strong desire.
