Job 30:2-8

Expanded Bible

² What use did I have for their strength
    since they had lost their ·strength [vigor] to work [^Cvv. 2–8 describe the young men who torment Job]?
³ They were thin from hunger
    and ·wandered the dry and ruined land at night [or they gnawed the desert on the brink of desolation and destruction].
⁴ They ·gathered desert plants [plucked mallow] among the brush
    and ·ate [or warmed themselves on] the root of the broom tree.
⁵ They were ·forced to live away [driven out] from people;
    people shouted at them as if they were thieves.
⁶ They lived ·in dried-up streambeds [on the slopes of the wadis],
    in ·caves, and among the rocks [dusty and rocky holes].
⁷ They howled like animals among the bushes
    and huddled together ·in [or under] the brush.
⁸ They are ·worthless people without names [disreputable children of fools]
    and were ·forced to leave the land [^Lwhipped off the land/earth].
