Job 30:7 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

Job 30:7

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