Wesley's Notes

30:7 Brayed - Like the wild asses, for hunger or thirst. Thorns - Under which they hide themselves, that they might not be discovered when they are sought out for justice.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. brayed-like the wild ass (Job 6:5 for food). The inarticulate tones of this uncivilized rabble are but little above those of the beast of the field.

gathered together-rather, sprinkled here and there. Literally, "poured out," graphically picturing their disorderly mode of encampment, lying up and down behind the thorn bushes.

nettles-or brambles [Umbreit].

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 30:6 So that they dwell in dreadful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
Job 30:8 "Fools, even those without a name, They were scourged from the land. (NASB ©1995)

Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

brayed 6:5 11:12 Ge 16:12

the nettles (Charul probably denotes some kind of briar or bramble: so Vulgate renders it by spina or sentis, (Pr. 24:31. Zep. 2:9.) Celsius and Scheuchzer are inclined to think it the paliurus, a shrub growing sometimes to a considerable height in desert places. 'One of the inconveniences of the vegetable thickets of Egypt is,' says Denon, 'that it is difficult to remain in them, as nine tenths of the trees and plants are armed with inexorable thorns, which suffer only an unquiet enjoyment of the shadow which is so constantly desirable.')
