Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 30:7

Job 30:7. Among the bushes they brayed Like the wild asses, (Job 6:5,) for hunger or thirst. They brayed, seems to be an improper translation here; because, though נהק , nahak, signifies to bray, when applied to an ass, yet when spoken of men in difficult circumstances, as in this verse, we should rather say with the Targum and LXX., they sighed, cried out, or made their moan. So Heath and Houbigant render it. Under the nettles they were gathered The word חרול , charul, here... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 30:1-31

Past glory; present humiliation (29:1-30:31)Since the three friends have nothing more to say, Job proceeds to show that in the past he had indeed tried to fear God and avoid wrongdoing. So close was his fellowship with God in those days that he could call it friendship (29:1-4). He was blessed with family happiness and prosperity (5-6). He was one of the city elders and was highly respected by the whole community (7-10).Most rulers were corrupt, favouring the rich and oppressing the poor, but... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 30:1-31

Job’s present misery ch. 30"Chapter 29 speaks of what the Lord gave to Job and chapter 30 speaks of what the Lord took away (cf. Job 1:21)." [Note: Zuck, Job, p. 129.] Job was presently without respect (Job 30:1-15), disregarded (Job 30:16-23), and despondent (Job 30:24-31). He had formerly enjoyed the respect of the most respectable, but now he experienced the contempt of the most contemptible (Job 30:1-15; cf. Job 29:8; cf. Job 29:21-25). [Note: Andersen, p. 235.] "The lengthy description of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 30:1-31

Job’s Present MiseryJob bitterly contrasts his present with his past condition, as described in Job 29. It must be borne in mind that Job was now outcast and beggared.1-8. Job complains that he is insulted by abject outcasts, the class of broken men who are expelled from respectable tribes and live by thieving. They are common E. of Jordan in the nomadic regions.2b.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 30:7

(7) Among the bushes they brayed.—Herodotus says their language was like the screeching of bats, others say it was like the whistling of birds. This whole description is of the mockers of Job, and therefore should be in the present tense in Job 30:5; Job 30:7-8, as it may be in the Authorised Version of Job 30:4. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 30:1-31

Job 30:15-16 This sickness brought him so near to the gates of death, and he saw the grave so ready to devour him, that he would often say, his recovery was supernatural. And then, being with his eldest daughter, Mrs. Harvey, at Abury Hatch in Essex, he there fell into a fever, which, with the help of his constant infirmity vapours from the spleen hastened him into so visible a consumption, that his beholders might say of him, as St. Paul of himself, 'I die daily,' and he might say with Job,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 30:1-31

XXIV.AS A PRINCE BEFORE THE KINGJob 29:1-25; Job 30:1-31; Job 31:1-40Job SPEAKSFROM the pain and desolation to which he has become inured as a pitiable second state of existence, Job looks back to the years of prosperity and health which in long succession he once enjoyed. This parable or review of the past ends his contention. Honour and blessedness are apparently denied him forever. With what has been he compares his present misery and proceeds to a bold and noble vindication of his character... read more

He had spoken of his past greatness and now he describes his present misery. Ah! the bitterness if it--those younger than I have me in derision! Alas! through it all we hear nothing but pride. He scorns those who were so much beneath him. And those who were scourged out of the land, these children of fools and base men, mock him, the former prince among... read more
