John Trapp on Job 30:29

Verſe 29. I am a brother to Dragons, &c.] i.e. I utter a very lamentable voice, or rather noiſe, like Dragons, which ſucking the Elephants blood till he fall down dead upon them, and quell them with his huge bulk, make an horrible howling;Plin. Solin. ſo horrible and hideous ſay ſome, that they amaze, yea, kill thoſe that hear it.

And a companion to Owles] I give forth rude and confuſed cryes, as if I howled with Owles, or grunted with Oſtriches. We uſe to ſay of ſuch, that they roar like Beares, and bellow like Bulls, filling the air with their Out-cryes. Young Oſtriches caſt off by their Dams, Job 39.14. Lam. 4.3. make pittiful moan; ſo do the young Ravens for like cauſe, Pſal. 147.9. Job cryed out more like a beaſt then a man, in his pain and miſery. This the Stoicks cenſured as effeminate, and would not allow a wiſe or valiant man to ſigh, or cry, or ſhew any token of grief whatever befel him. But this was to deſtroy nature, and to transform men into ſtocks and ſtones void of ſenſe. The Patriarks bewailed their deceaſed friends. David, likely, was not ignorant of the Gentiles proverb, Weeping becometh not a King; yet he wept abundantly, yea,Eurip. —[non-Latin text not transcribed] he out-wept Jonathan: As the better any one is the more inclined to weeping and lamentation, which yet muſt be duly moderated.
