Job 30:5
Compare all
3 They are gaunt from want and famine,
Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,
4 Who pluck1 mallow by the bushes,
And broom tree roots for their food. 
5 They were driven out from among men,
They shouted at them as at a thief.
6 They had to live in the clefts of the1 valleys,
In1 caves of the earth and the rocks. 
7 Among the bushes they brayed,
Under the nettles they nestled.
8 They were sons of fools,
Yes, sons of vile men;
They were scourged from the land.
9 “Anda now I am their taunting song;
Yes, I am their byword.
