job 30:8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. - Free Bible Online

job 30:8 "Fools, even those without a name, They were scourged from the land.


      8. fools--that is, the impious and abandoned (1Sa 25:25).
      base--nameless, low-born rabble.
      viler than, &c.--rather, they were driven or beaten out of the land. The Horites in Mount Seir (Ge 14:6 with which compare Ge 36:20, 21; De 2:12, 22) were probably the aborigines, driven out by the tribe to which Job's ancestors belonged; their name means troglodytæ, or "dwellers in caves." To these Job alludes here (Job 30:1-8, and Ge 24:4-8, which compare together).
