Albert Barnes Commentary Job 30:5

"They are driven forth from the midst [of men]; They cry after them as after a thief;" — Job 30:5 (ASV)

They were driven forth from among men - As vagabonds and outcasts. They were regarded as unfit to live among the civilized and the orderly, and were expelled as nuisances.

(They cried after them as after a thief.) - The inhabitants of the place where they lived drove them out with a loud outcry, as if they were thieves and robbers. A class of people is described here who were mere vagrants and plunderers, and who were not allowed to dwell in civilized society. It was one of the greatest aggravations of Job's calamities that he was now treated with derision by such outcasts.
