“So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.”
Job laments that he is allotted months of emptiness and that nights of misery have been appointed to him, suggesting that his suffering is not temporary but constitutes the entire substance of his existence. The verb 'appointed' suggests that his misery is cosmically ordained rather than accidental. The emptiness and misery fill his entire temporal experience.
