Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 30:1
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
1. younger —not the three friends ( Job 15:10 ; Job 32:4 ; Job 32:6 ; Job 32:7 ). A general description: Job 32:7- : , the lowness of the persons who derided him; Job 32:7- : , the derision itself. Formerly old men rose to me ( Job 32:7- : ). Now not only my juniors, who are bound to reverence me ( Leviticus 19:32 ), but even the mean and base-born actually deride me; opposed to, "smiled upon" ( Leviticus 19:32- : ). This goes farther than even the "mockery" of Job by relations and friends ( Job 12:4 ; Job 16:10 ; Job 16:20 ; Job 17:2 ; Job 17:6 ; Job 19:22 ). Orientals feel keenly any indignity shown by the young. Job speaks as a rich Arabian emir, proud of his descent. dogs —regarded with disgust in the East as unclean ( 1 Samuel 17:43 ; Proverbs 26:11 ). They are not allowed to enter a house, but run about wild in the open air, living on offal and chance morsels ( Psalms 59:14 ; Psalms 59:15 ). Here again we are reminded of Jesus Christ ( Psalms 59:15- : ). "Their fathers, my coevals, were so mean and famished that I would not have associated them with (not to say, set them over) my dogs in guarding my flock." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
