Holy Scripture

Job 14:15

A church father on this verse
“Since Job wants to show that not only the body is resurrected but also the soul whose thoughts are fixed on God, he says, "You would call, and I would answer you." For listening when God calls is a quality of a creature endowed with reason, that is, the soul.”
Didymus the Blind, 4th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 14:15B

In context

13For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, And hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, And thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me!

14For if a man should die, shall he live again, Having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?

— Job 14:15 —

16But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee?

17And thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, And marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.
