Job 30:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They brayed, like the wild asses, Job 6:5, for hunger or thirst. Under the nettles, which seem not proper for that use. This Hebrew word is used but twice in Scripture, and it is acknowledged both by Jewish and Christian writers, that the signification of the Hebrew words which express plants, or beasts, or stones, &c. is very uncertain; and therefore this is by others, and may well be, understood of some kind of thorns; and so this is the same thing with the bushes in the former branch of the verse, under which they hid themselves, that they might not be discovered when they were sought out for justice.

Job 30:7

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