Job 7:3 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

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.
