“Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.”
"You would call, and I would answer you; you would long for the work of your hands." If resurrection were possible, Job imagines divine-human reunion in which God calls and Job responds, God longing for his creature. The verse transforms the earlier image of God as hostile pursuer into one of God as loving creator missing his creation. It posits a form of relationship in which death itself might be overcome.
