Job 30:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. Among the bushes they brayed - They cried out among the bushes, seeking for food, as the wild ass when he is in want of provender. Two MSS. read ינאקו yinaku, they groaned, instead of ינהקו yinhaku, they brayed.

Under the nettles - חרול charul, the briers or brambles, under the brushwood in the thickest parts of the underwood; they huddled together like wild beasts.

Job 30:7

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