Job 30:29
30:29 a I am considered: Job might have been expressing what he thought of himself, how others viewed him, or both.• By claiming that he was a brother to jackals and a companion to owls, Job might have been describing himself as in the throes of lament (Mic 1:8 b). Jackals were associated with desolation or ruin (see Ps 63:10 c; Isa 13:22 d; 34:13 e; 35:7 f; Jer 9:11 g; 10:22 h; 49:33 i; 51:37 j; Lam 5:18 k; Ezek 13:4 l; Mal 1:3 m).
