Job30:8

Verſe 8. They were children of fools, yea, children of baſe men] Homines flagitioſiſſimi, etiam homines ignominioſiſſimi afflictiſſimi erant, extorres, ſo Tremellius tranſlateth; Naught all over they were, and nought eſteemed: what wonder therefore if heavily afflicted, and relegated? Their poverty was ſelf-procured, and therefore unpitied; they had brought themſelves into the briars, and alſo in their fathers iniquities they were pining away with them, Levit. 26.39. Evil eggs they were of evil birds, [illegible: 1 letter]ihili homuncimes & ingloris, as the Tigurines tranſlate, fellows of no faſhion, and as little account, terrae filii, earth-ſprung Muſhromes, men in whom all true wiſdom was faded and decayed, ſapleſs perſons Nabals, Nebulones.

They were viler then the earth] Terrâ quam ferimus, terrâ etiam quam terimus: Or, they were ſmitten out of the earth, driven out of the land, ſc. by me when I was in power: but now theſe vile varlets ſhew themſelves again, and trample upon me with the feet of pride and petulancy: Leoni mortuo vel mus inſultat.
