Job 14

Job laments the brevity and trouble of human life, born unclean from a woman, fleeting like a flower or shadow, with days determined by God, pleading for respite like a hireling[1][2][3]. He contrasts trees' renewal with man's death, yearning to be hidden in Sheol until God's wrath passes, questioning if a man dies shall he live again, hoping God would call him anew, yet despairing that God numbers his steps and seals his sins, destroying all hope[1][2][3].
