14 How much less, then, will he listen when you say that you do not see him, that your case is before him and you must wait for him,
14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
14 So why would he notice you just because you say you're tired of waiting to be heard,
14 Although you say you do not see Him, Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him.
14 You say you can't see him, but he will bring justice if you will only wait.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 35:14
Commentary on Job 35:14-16
(Read Job 35:14-16)
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 valley will never be filled up. But to conclude that to-morrow must be as this 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 seems amiss will be found to be right, and all that seems dark and difficult 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, and 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 mouth in vain, and had multiplied words without knowledge. Let us be admonished, in our afflictions, not so much to set forth the greatness of our suffering, as the greatness of the mercy of God.
