They are driven from the community;
They shout against them as against a thief,
So that they live on the slopes of ravines,
In holes in the ground and among the rocks.

They were cast out from the land.

    and huddled in the undergrowth.
A base and nameless brood,(D)
    they were driven out of the land.(E)
