SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
¡Oh quién me diera que me escondieses en la sepultura, que me encubrieras hasta apaciguarse tu ira, que me pusieses plazo, y de mí te acordaras!
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 14:13
Verse 13. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave ] Dreadful as death is to others, I shall esteem it a high privilege; it will be to me a covert from the wind and from the tempest of this affliction and distress. Keep me secret ] Hide my soul with thyself, where my enemies cannot invade my repose; or, as the poet expresses it: - "My spirit hide with saints above, My body in the tomb." Job does not appear to have the same thing in view when he entreats God to hide him in the grave; and to keep him secret, until his wrath be past.
The former relates to the body; the latter to the spirit.
That thou wouldest appoint me a set time ] As he had spoken of the death of his body before, and the secreting of his spirit in the invisible world, he must refer here to the resurrection; for what else can be said to be an object of desire to one whose body is mingled with the dust? And remember me! - When my body has paid that debt of death which it owes to thy Divine justice, and the morning of the resurrection is come, when it may be said thy wrath, ûpa appecha, "thy displeasure," against the body is past, it having suffered the sentence denounced by thyself: Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return, for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die; then remember me-raise my body, unite my spirit to it, and receive both into thy glory for ever.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-15 - Though a tree is cut down, yet, in a moist situation, shoots com forth, and grow up as a newly planted tree. But when man is cut off by death, he is for ever removed from his place in this world. The life of man may fitly be compared to the waters of a land flood, which sprea far, but soon dry up. All Job's expressions here show his belief in the great doctrine of the resurrection. Job's friends proving miserabl comforters, he pleases himself with the expectation of a change. If ou sins are forgiven, and our hearts renewed to holiness, heaven will be the rest of our souls, while our bodies are hidden in the grave from the malice of our enemies, feeling no more pain from our corruptions or our corrections.
