Job 30:29

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

Dragons ... owls - rather, jackals, ostriches, both of which utter dismal screams (Micah 1:8); in which respect, as also in their living amidst solitudes, the emblem of desolation, Job is their brother and companion - i:e., resembles them. "Dragon," Hebrew Tannim, usually means the crocodile; so perhaps here, its open jaws lifted toward heaven, and its noise, making it seem as if it mourned over its fate (Bochart).
