Job 14:6

Turn from him. Job pleads with God to cease watching him so closely, that he may have a brief respite before departing from the earth. Rest. Literally, “cease.” The idea is not that of rest, but of having God cease to afflict him. Job wished that God would leave him alone (Job 10:20). Hireling. The hireling’s real enjoyment of his day comes when the shadow of evening brings with it the rest that he covets and the wages he has earned. In like manner, Job desires for himself the satisfaction that the end of his toil and sorrow will bring.
