heavens be no more—This only implies that Job had no hope of living again in the present order of the world, not that he had no hope of life again in a new order of things. Psalms 102:26 proves that early under the Old Testament the dissolution of the present earth and heavens was expected (compare Genesis 8:22). Enoch before Job had implied that the "saints shall live again" (Judges 1:14; Hebrews 11:13-16). Even if, by this phrase, Job meant "never" (Psalms 89:29) in his gloomier state of feelings, yet the Holy Ghost has made him unconsciously (I Peter 1:11-12) use language expressing the truth, that the resurrection is to be preceded by the dissolution of the heavens. In Job 14:13-15 he plainly passes to brighter hopes of a world to come.
