Job 30:29
_ _ dragons ... owls — rather, “jackals,” “ostriches,” both of which utter dismal screams (Micah 1:8); in which respect, as also in their living amidst solitudes (the emblem of desolation), Job is their brother and companion; that is, resembles them. “Dragon,” Hebrew, tannim, usually means the crocodile; so perhaps here, its open jaws lifted towards heaven, and its noise making it seem as if it mourned over its fate [Bochart]. |

A brother — By imitation of their cries: persons of like qualities are often called brethren. Dragon — Which howl and wail mournfully in the deserts. |
