Job 30:7

Job 30:7

Compare all

5 They were driven out from among men,
They shouted at them as at a thief.

6 They had to live in the clefts of the¹ valleys,
In¹ caves of the earth and the rocks.

7 Among the bushes they brayed,
Under the nettles they nestled.

8 They were sons of fools,
Yes, sons of vile men;
They were scourged from the land.

9 “And^a now I am their taunting song;
Yes, I am their byword.

10 They abhor me, they keep far from me;
They do not hesitate ^ato spit in my face.

11 Because ^aHe has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me,
They have cast off restraint before me.

Adam Clarke

<< Job 30:6

Job 30:8 >>

Among the bushes they brayed - They cried out among the bushes, seeking for food, as the wild ass when he is in want of provender. Two MSS. read yinaku , they groaned, instead of yinhaku , they brayed.

Under the nettles - charul , the briers or brambles, under the brushwood in the thickest parts of the underwood; they huddled together like wild beasts.
