Job 14:4–5 No mortal can work outside the limits that God has set.
Job 14:7–14 Job laments the limits of mortality by contrasting the consequences of cutting down a tree (vv. 7–9) and the death of a man (vv. 10–14). There is hope (v. 7) for a tree: even if root and stump decay (v. 8), it may still grow again (v. 9). However, when a man dies, his life on earth is finished (see vv. 10, 12, 14).
Job 14:15–22 Job longs for a renewal in which God would secure his path and forgive his sin (vv. 15–17). But he concludes that just as the elements wash away rock and soil, so God will wear down a man over the course of his life (vv. 18–22). God can remove the hope of man through the persistent eroding effect of suffering.
