Job 30:3-7 ▼

3 “They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry and barren ground by night in [the gloom of] waste and desolation.

4 “They pluck [and eat] saltwort (mallows) among the bushes, And their food is the root of the broom shrub.

5 “They are driven from the community; They shout after them as after a thief.

6 “They must dwell on the slopes of wadis And in holes in the ground and in rocks.

7 “Among the bushes they cry out [like wild animals]; Beneath the prickly scrub they gather and huddle together.
