Job 30:3-8
New International Version
Job 30:3-8
New International Version
3 Haggard from want and hunger,
they roamed[a] the parched land(A)
in desolate wastelands(B) at night.(C)
4 In the brush they gathered salt herbs,(D)
and their food[b] was the root of the broom bush.(E)
5 They were banished from human society,
shouted at as if they were thieves.
6 They were forced to live in the dry stream beds,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.(F)
7 They brayed(G) among the bushes(H)
and huddled in the undergrowth.
8 A base and nameless brood,(I)
they were driven out of the land.(J)
Job 30:3-8
King James Version
Job 30:3-8
King James Version
3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
5 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
