Job 7:3
_ _ — Months of comfortless misfortune.
_ _ I am made to possess — literally, “to be heir to.” Irony. “To be heir to,” is usually a matter of joy; but here it is the entail of an involuntary and dismal inheritance.
_ _ Months — for days, to express its long duration.
_ _ Appointed — literally, “they have numbered to me”; marking well the unavoidable doom assigned to him. |
Job 7:3
So — This so respects not so much the desire of an hired servant, as the ground of it, his hard toil and service. Possess — God, hath given me this as my lot and inheritance. Months — So he calls them rather than days, to note the tediousness of his affliction. Vanity — Empty and unsatisfying. Nights — He mentions nights, because that is the saddest time for sick and miserable persons; the darkness and solitude of the night being of themselves uncomfortable, and giving them more opportunity for solemn and sorrowful reflections. |
Job 7:3
So am I made to possess (b) months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
