Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 35:14
Verse 14. Thou sayest thou shalt not see HIM ] Several MSS. have "Thou shalt not see me," and the Septuagint, and one other, "Thou shalt not see us," but without the points, wnrwt , the original may be read see HIM or see US, the third person singular, or the first person plural. Yet judgment is before him ] Rest assured that God has not forgotten either to punish or to save; therefore trust in him; choose to be a monument of his mercy, rather than of his justice.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-16 - As in prosperity we are ready to think our mountain will never be brought low; so when in adversity, we are ready to think our valle will never be filled up. But to conclude that to-morrow must be as thi day, is as absurd as to think that the weather, when either fair or foul, will be always so. When Job looked up to God, he had no reason to speak despairingly. There is a day of judgment, when all that seem amiss will be found to be right, and all that seems dark and difficul will be cleared up and set straight. And if there is Divine wrath in our troubles, it is because we quarrel with God, are fretful, an distrust Divine Providence. This was Job's case. Elihu was directed by God to humble Job, for as to some things he had both opened his mout in vain, and had multiplied words without knowledge. Let us be admonished, in our afflictions, not so much to set forth the greatnes of our suffering, as the greatness of the mercy of God __________________________________________________________________
