Job 7:3

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.
