King James Translators' Notes

base...: Heb. men of no name

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. fools-that is, the impious and abandoned (1Sa 25:25).

base-nameless, low-born rabble.

viler than, &c.-rather, they were driven or beaten out of the land. The Horites in Mount Seir (Ge 14:6 with which compare Ge 36:20, 21; De 2:12, 22) were probably the aborigines, driven out by the tribe to which Job's ancestors belonged; their name means troglodytę, or "dwellers in caves." To these Job alludes here (Job 30:1-8, and Ge 24:4-8, which compare together).

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 30:7 "Among the bushes they cry out; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
Job 30:9 "And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them. (NASB ©1995)
