King James Version
"Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat."
— Job 30:4, King James Version
“They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food. ”
“They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom are their food.”
“By the brush they would gather herbs from the salt marshes, and the root of the broom tree was their food.”
“And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.”
“They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.”
“Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.”
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.
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
