14. shall he live? —The answer implied is, There is a hope that he shall, though not in the present order of life, as is shown by the words following. Job had denied ( Job 14:10-12 ) that man shall live again in this present world. But hoping for a "set time," when God shall remember and raise him out of the hiding-place of the grave ( Job 14:10-18.14.12- : ), he declares himself willing to "wait all the days of his appointed time" of continuance in the grave, however long and hard that may be. appointed time —literally, "warfare, hard service"; imlying the hardship of being shut out from the realms of life, light, and God for the time he shall be in the grave ( Job 7:1 ). change —my release, as a soldier at his post released from duty by the relieving guard (see on Job 14:1 ) [UMBREIT and GESENIUS], but elsewhere GESENIUS explains it, "renovation," as of plants in spring ( Job 14:1- : ), but this does not accord so well with the metaphor in "appointed time" or "warfare." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
