Job 30:1

 

 

1 But now they that are younger [tsa`iyr] [yowm] than I have me in derision [sachaq], whose fathers ['ab] I would have disdained [ma'ac] to have set [shiyth] with the dogs [keleb] of my flock [tso'n]. KJV-Interlinear

 

 

1 'But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock. NASB

 

 

For all of the good which Job did for others, there was still a class of people for whom Job could do no good.

 

They are the dregs of society. They are arrogant and lazy, untrustworthy and unreliable. Of these, Job could not even entrust the lowest of jobs within his organization.

 

And, as people are higher on the hierarchy of important creatures, higher than dogs, Job implies or describes their value as less that the dogs of his flocks, or the worst of his flock animals. And here he refers to the dogs (I am sure Job owned Australian Shepherds ), which were used by the shepherds when they tended Jobs flocks, herds and so forth.

 

These unscrupulous folks were not to be trusted. They hated Job when he was wealthy, and they cheered when hard times fell all over Job. They had no wisdom in life with which to guide their own lives, and certainly had no wisdom with which to deal with other people, yet they are a class of people who think highly of themselves, even in the face of having nothing in life of their own, to show for themselves.

 

The youngsters of their families followed the attitude of their parents. Parents derided Job and their children took up or echoed, the same ridicule of there parents. Stupid leads and stupid follows. All are compared to dogs, or the lack of a reliable ability to even care for dogs.

 

All of these folks are said to be younger, therefore they should know better. They should have been raised with manners and respect for their elders, yet they lacked even these very simple skills of courtesy. Short on wisdom, yet long on opinion. Such is the nature of gossips and slanderers, and those who would be self-appointed experts, demonstrating their ineptness toward, and uselessness in, life.

 

By their own attitudes of hostility toward someone who never brought harm to them, but whose only crime (in their minds) was to enjoy blessing from God, they demonstrate their own flaws, which are those of a wasted and empty life.

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
