3 gaunt with want and hunger, they would gnaw the parched land, in former time desolate and waste. 4 By the brush they would gather herbs from the salt marshes, and the root of the broom tree was their food. 5 They were banished from the community--people shouted at them like they would shout at thieves-- 6 so that they had to live in the dry stream beds, in the holes of the ground, and among the rocks. 7 They brayed like animals among the bushes and were huddled together under the nettles.
