30:5 They were {d} driven forth from among [men], (they cried after them as [after] a thief;)
(d) Job shows that those who mocked him in his affliction were like their fathers, wicked and lewd fellows, such as he here describes.
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.
