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

Verse 6 is found in chapter 14 of Job. Job asks God for two things: to withdraw his hand from him and not terrify him with his presence. He then returns to reflecting on human frailty and asks why God subjects such a limited creature to judgment. The section connects mortality with the mystery of divine justice.

So tu dich von ihm, daß er Ruhe habe, bis daß seine Zeit komme, deren er wie ein Tagelöhner wartet.
Si tú lo dejares, él dejará de ser: Entre tanto deseará, como el jornalero, su día.
aparta de él la mirada y déjalo descansar, hasta que termine su jornada como un jornalero.
Détourne de lui les regards, et donne-lui du relâche, Pour qu'il ait au moins la joie du mercenaire à la fin de sa journée.
Rivolgiti d’addosso a lui, sì ch’egli abbia alcuna posa, Infino a tanto che di buona voglia egli fornisca la sua giornata, come un mercenario
Desvia-te dele, para que tenha repouso, até que, como o jornaleiro, tenha contentamento no seu dia.
求你轉眼不看他,使他得歇息, 直到他像雇工享受他的一天。
