Job 30:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Yes, how could the strength of their hands profit me? They were men whose ripe age and vigor had perished.

³ They are gaunt with want and famine; they gnaw the dry and barren ground or flee into the wilderness, into the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

⁴ They pluck saltwort or mallows among the bushes, and roots of the broom for their food or to warm them.
