Job 30:1–8 Although Job had delivered the truly needy from their unrighteous oppressors (29:11–17), those who now mock him are themselves needy, because of their own actions and foolishness.

Job 30:4 The plants mentioned here represent desperation.

Job 30:8 The Hebrew word translated senseless implies that these men are morally responsible for their circumstances (compare “foolish,” 2:10; see the description of the foolish in Prov. 1:7, 29–32).

Job 30:9–15 Job describes his three friends as casting off any restraint, as if they were taking advantage of an easy military conquest (through a wide breach).

Job 30:11 loosed my cord. God has taken away Job’s security (compare 29:4).

Job 30:16 my soul is poured out. A description of grief.

Job 30:24–31 Job pictures himself as one of those whose cries for help he used to answer (vv. 24–25). In his own distress he has only found evil where he hoped for good (v. 26), and isolation and mourning (vv. 27, 29–31) when he has called for help (v. 28).
