Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 30:8

_ _ fools — that is, the impious and abandoned (1 Samuel 25:25).

_ _ base — nameless, low-born rabble.

_ _ viler than, etc. — rather, they were driven or beaten out of the land. The Horites in Mount Seir (Genesis 14:6 with which compare Genesis 36:20, Genesis 36:21; Deuteronomy 2:12, Deuteronomy 2:22) were probably the aborigines, driven out by the tribe to which Job’s ancestors belonged; their name means troglodytae, or “dwellers in caves.” To these Job alludes here (Job 30:1-8, and Genesis 24:4-8, which compare together).
