Tafsiran Ayub 14:13: Malbim

מִ֤י יִתֵּ֨ן ׀ בִּשְׁא֬וֹל תַּצְפִּנֵ֗נִי תַּ֭סְתִּירֵנִי עַד־שׁ֣וּב אַפֶּ֑ךָ תָּ֤שִׁ֥ית לִ֖י חֹ֣ק וְתִזְכְּרֵֽנִי׃

Ah, kiranya Engkau menyimpan aku di dunia orang mati, menyembunyikan aku sampai murka-Mu surut, dan menetapkan bagiku suatu waktu, lalu Engkau mengingat aku!

Malbim

Even were he to be punished in that eternal world, the punishment would some day end and he would at least have that to look forward to. But the notion that there is another world, where the injustices of this world are corrected, defies reason.
