Job 14:15

You will call ¹  and I ²  – I will answer you; you will long for ³  the creature you have made. ⁴ 

Job 7:21; Job 10:3,8; Job 13:22; Ps 50:4,5; Ps 138:8; 1Th 4:17; 1Pe 4:19; 1Jo 2:28

¹ sn The idea would be that God would sometime in the future call Job into his fellowship again when he longed for the work of his hands (cf. Job 10:3).

² tn The independent personal pronoun is emphatic, as if to say, “and I on my part will answer.”

³ tn The word כָּסַף (kasaf) originally meant “to turn pale.” It expresses the sentiment that causes pallor of face, and so is used for desire ardently, covet. The object of the desire is always introduced with the ל (lamed) preposition (see E. Dhorme, Job, 202).

⁴ tn Heb “long for the work of your hands.”
