Job 14:7–15, “For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.”
If someone cuts a tree down there is always hope that the tree will spout again. Even when the tree is old or the rootstock seems dead in the ground, water will bring these things back to life again. It is, however, different with a man; once he is dead then all hope has gone. He will never come back to life again. Job asked the Lord to hide him in the grave so that he could escape from the torments of his sickness forever. Maybe the Lord would be able to bring Job back once the time of sickness and sorrow is over. When the Lord finally gives Job the chance to escape, he will come as soon as the Lord calls.
