Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 14:6

6. Turn from him that he may rest , till he shall accomplish as an hireling his day .

Withdraw thine afflicting Hand from him.

That he may have some present comfort and ease. Or, and let it cease, to wit, the affliction, which is sufficiently implied. Others, and let him cease, to wit, to live, i. e. Take away my life. But that seems not to agree with the following clause of this Verse, nor with the succeeding Verses.

Give him some respite, till he finish his course and come to the period of his Life, which thou hast allotted to him, as a man appoints a set time to a mercenary servant.
