Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 14:15

_ _ namely, at the resurrection (John 5:28; Psalms 17:15).

_ _ have a desire to — literally, “become pale with anxious desire:” the same word is translated “sore longedst after” (Genesis 31:30; Psalms 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 14:7-15.
