King James Version with Apocrypha
"For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste."
— Job 30:3, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.”
“They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation. ”
“They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.”
“gaunt with want and hunger, they would roam the parched land, by night a desolate waste.”
“Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.”
“They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.”
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
