Job 30:3-6 NIV

[3] Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night. [4] In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush. [5] They were banished from human society, shouted at as if they were thieves. [6] They were forced to live in the dry stream beds, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
