Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6. They are forced "to dwell."

cliffs of the valleys-rather, "in the gloomy valleys"; literally, "in the gloom of the valleys," or wadies. To dwell in valleys is, in the East, a mark of wretchedness. The troglodytes, in parts of Arabia, lived in such dwellings as caves.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

30:1-14 Job contrasts his present condition with his former honour and authority. What little cause have men to be ambitious or proud of that which may be so easily lost, and what little confidence is to be put in it! We should not be cast down if we are despised, reviled, and hated by wicked men. We should look to Jesus, who endured the contradiction of sinners.


Job 30:5 "They are driven from the community; They shout against them as against a thief,
Job 30:7 "Among the bushes they cry out; Under the nettles they are gathered together. (NASB ©1995)
