Job 30:5

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 “And^a now I am their taunting song;
Yes, I am their byword.
