Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 30:6

_ _ They are forced “to dwell.”

_ _ cliffs of the valleys — rather, “in the gloomy valleys”; literally, “in the gloom of the valleys,” or wadies. To dwell in valleys is, in the East, a mark of wretchedness. The troglodytes, in parts of Arabia, lived in such dwellings as caves.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
