Job 7:1 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Is there not — Job is here excusing what he cannot justify, his passionate longing for death. A time — Is there not a time limited by God, wherein man shall live in this sinful, and miserable world? And is it a crime in me, to desire that God would bring me to that joyful period? Our time on earth is limited and short, according to the narrow bounds of this earth. But heaven cannot be measured, nor the days of heaven numbered. Hireling — Whose time is short, being but a few years, or days, whose condition is full of toil and hardship.
