Didymus the Blind, on Job 14:15

“Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand.”

“Since Job wants to show that not only the body is resurrected but also the soul whose thoughts are fixed on God, he says, "You would call, and I would answer you." For listening when God calls is a quality of a creature endowed with reason, that is, the soul.”
