Job 30:2-4

New International Version - UK

² Of what use was the strength of their hands to me,
    since their vigour had gone from them?
³ Haggard from want and hunger,
    they roamed^[a] the parched land
    in desolate wastelands at night.
⁴ In the brush they gathered salt herbs,
    and their food^[b] was the root of the broom bush.
