Clarke's Job 39:7 Bible Commentary
He scorneth the multitude - He is so swift that he cannot be run or hunted down. See the description in Job 39:5 (note).
Barnes's Job 39:7 Bible Commentary
He scorneth the multitude of the city - That is, he sets all this at defiance; he is not intimidated by it. He finds his home far away from the city in the wild freedom of the wilderness.
Neither regardeth he the crying of the driver - Margin, "exacter." The Hebrew word properly means a collector of taxes or revenue, and hence, an oppressor, and a driver of cattle. The allusion here is to a driver, and the meaning is, that he is not subject to restraint, but enjoys the most unlimited freedom.
Wesley's Job 39:7 Bible Commentary
39:7 Scorneth - He feareth them not when they pursue him, because he is swift, and can easily escape them. Driver - He will not be brought to receive his yoke, nor to do his drudgery.
