Job Chapter 30

Job

job 30:0

Overview

Job 30:1, Job's honour is turned into extreme contempt; Job 30:15, and his prosperity into calamity.

Job 30:1

Job 30:4

job 30:4

mallows: The Hebrew malluach, in Arabic, malluch, and in Syriac mallucho, is probably the Lalima or Lalimos of the Greeks, and halimus of the Romans, which Dioscorides describes as a kind of bramble, without thorns, the leaves of which are boiled and eaten.

juniper roots: The Hebrew rothem, in Arabic, ratim, and in Spanish, retama, most probably signifies the genista or broom, which is very abundant in the deserts of Arabia.

the nettles: Charul probably denotes some kind of briar or bramble, so Vulgate renders it by spina or sentis, (Pro 24:31. Zep 2:9). Celsius and Scheuchzer are inclined to think it the paliurus, a shrub growing sometimes to a considerable height in desert places. "One of the inconveniences of the vegetable thickets of Egypt is," says Denon, "that it is difficult to remain in them, as nine tenths of the trees and plants are armed with inexorable thorns, which suffer only an unquiet enjoyment of the shadow which is so constantly desirable.
