Giobbe 30:29

29 Io son diventato fratello degli sciacalli, E compagno delle ulule.

Giobbe 30:29 Meaning and Commentary

Job 30:29

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
] Or ostriches, as the Targum, Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions; either he was obliged to dwell with such persons as were comparable to these creatures for their devouring words, hissing noise, and venomous speeches, or for want of compassion, and for their cruelty, as David is said to be among lions, ( Psalms 57:4 ) ; or also, he was like unto them, being solitary and alone, all his friends and acquaintance standing at a distance from him, as these creatures love lonesome and desolate places; or because of the wailing and howling noise they make, to which his mournful notes bore some resemblance, (See Gill on Micah 1:8); or because, when these creatures cry and howl, and make a noise, no mercy is shown to them, none pities or regards them; and so it was with him; though he stood and cried in ever so public a manner, none had any compassion on him.

Giobbe 30:29 In-Context

27 Le mie interiora bollono, e non hanno alcuna posa; I giorni dell’afflizione mi hanno incontrato.

28 Io vo bruno attorno, non già del sole; Io mi levo in pien popolo, e grido.

29 Io son diventato fratello degli sciacalli, E compagno delle ulule.

30 La mia pelle mi si è imbrunita addosso, E le mie ossa son calcinate d’arsura.

31 E la mia cetera si è mutata in duolo, E il mio organo in voce di pianto.
