Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 30:3

3. For want and famine th[illegible: 1+ letters] were solitary: fleeing into the wilderness, in former time desolate and wast:

Brought upon them either by their own sloth or wickedness, or by God's just judgment. Heb. In want and famine, which aggravates their following solitude. Although want commonly drives persons to places of resort and company for relief, yet they were so conscious of their own guilt, and contemptibleness, and hatefulness to all persons, that they shunned all company, and for fear or shame fled into and lived in desolate places.

Marginal references: Or, dark as th[illegible: 1+ letters] night.; Heb. yesternight.
