Job 30
Younger men, his inferiors.

"Calamities'' are not expressed in the text P. " Upon my right hand rise the youth.*' L. " Against my right hand rise up this swarm of worthless youths."
P. " In the desolation they rolled themselves upon me." They have inflicted evils on me. u H. P. " Terrors are turned upon me." The noun is in the plural, with the verb in the singular. St. Jerome expressed the effect of these terrors, which brought Job to a state of great abjection and depression of spirits.
'/OH " My authority." Simonis. u My glory." L. God swept away the state and wealth of Job, as with a wind.
The pains and sorrows that torment him. The term signifies gnawing. Supra v. 3. P. " My sinews." L. " My pursuers."
