John Trapp on Job 30:3

Verſe 3. For want and famine, they were ſolitary] Miſerably poor they were, and nittily needy: ſcarce having a rag to their backs, and therefore aſhamed to ſhew themſelves in company of others, propter penuriam, & propter eſuriem, they lurked in by-corners, and ſeldom came abroad, unleſs it were when hard hunger drove the Wolf out of the wood. Slow-bellies they had ever been, and evil beaſts, fitter therefore to live in the Wilderneſs, in former time deſolate and waſte, than in a civil ſociety: or if in any place, at Poneropolis, a City built by Philip King of Macedony, for varlets and vagrants, and with ſuch kind of perſons peopled; that they might not peſter other places. Job would have none ſuch about him: and was therefore, haply, now in his low condition, ſo much hated and affronted by them.

In former time deſolate and waſte] And ſo perhaps haunted by the Devil, as Iſa. 13.20, 21. Brentius rendreth it, Heſternam preſſuram & conſternationem, yeſterdayes preſſures, and fright; that is, ſaith he, The Creditors eagerneſs to be ſatisfied, which frighteth theſe caytiffs, and putteth them to their ſhifts.
