Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 30:7

"Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together." — Job 30:7 (ASV)

Among the bushes they brayed. —Herodotus says their language was like the screeching of bats; others say it was like the whistling of birds. This whole description is of the mockers of Job, and therefore should be in the present tense in Job 30:5, Job 30:7–8, as it may be in the Authorised Version of Job 30:4.
