Job 30:4

World English Bible (WEB)

They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree are their food.

In context

2 Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?

3 They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.

4 They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree are their food.

5 They are driven out from among men. They cry after them as after a thief,

6 so that they live in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
