Holman Christian Standard Bible

Job 30:3-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. Emaciated from poverty and hunger,they gnawed the dry land,the desolate wasteland by night.

4. They plucked mallow among the shrubs,and the roots of the broom tree were their food.

5. They were expelled from human society;people shouted at them as if they were thieves.

6. They are living on the slopes of the wadis,among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

7. They bray among the shrubs;they huddle beneath the thistles.

8. Foolish men, without even a name.They were forced to leave the land.

9. Now I am mocked by their songs; I have become an object of scorn to them.

10. They despise me and keep their distance from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
