John Trapp on Job 30:7

Verſe 7. Among the buſhes they brayed] Through grief and diſcontent at their low condition and many miſeries; which yet they would rather bootleſly bewayle, than take a right courſe to remedy. They luſt and have not, they kill (themſelves through idleneſs,) and deſire to have (if it would come without labour) but cannot obtain, Jam. 4.2. And hence they bray like the wild-Aſs when empty, and roar as the Lion when hunger-bit.

Ʋnder the Nettlès were gathered together] Or they were pricked, whealed, (as we call it) Ʋrti[illegible: 1 letter]a ab urendo, they were nettle-ſtung, whileſt they got under thoſe weeds for ſhelter and warmth. All this Job relateth of thoſe that derided him: not to be even with them, or out of a deſire to diſparage them, but to aggravate the indignity of his miſuſage, and to comfort himſelf, as Seneca in like caſe did; Malè de me loquuntur, ſed mate; They ſpeak evil of me: But who are they? baſe perſons, and wicked above meaſure: and, oh how eaſie a thing it is to wagge a wicked tongue! eſpecially when the devil hath the doing of it, as he hath in this kind of men,Lavat. qui revera as aperiunt, & atabolum loqui ſinunt; whoſe mouth the Devil borroweth to vent the language of hell by.
