Commentary for Job 14:20

תִּתְקְפֵ֣הוּ לָ֭נֶצַח וַֽיַּהֲלֹ֑ךְ מְשַׁנֶּ֥ה פָ֝נָ֗יו וַֽתְּשַׁלְּחֵֽהוּ׃

Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

Rashi on Job

You overpower him You are stronger than he; You overcome him with Your power, and he goes away from the world.

Malbim on Job

Hope is a cruel illusion, that entices a man when he is young, only to fail him when he becomes old. For when a person dies, there is nothing more. To hope for a life after death is futile.
