Job 30:3-7 ▼

3 Emaciated from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, the desolate wasteland by night.

4 They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.

5 They were banished from human society; people shouted at them as if they were thieves.

6 They are living on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

7 They bray among the shrubs; they huddle beneath the thistles.
