30:8Sons of senseless and nameless people,19

they were driven out of the land with whips.20

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 19 The “sons of the senseless” (נָבָל, naval) means they were mentally and morally base and defective; and “sons of no-name” means without honor and respect, worthless (because not named).
  2. 20 Heb “they were whipped from the land” (cf. ESV) or “they were cast out from the land” ( נכא). J. E. Hartley (Job [], ) follows Gordis suggests that the meaning is “brought lower than the ground.”
