30:3 gaunt 1 with want and hunger,
they would gnaw 2 the parched land,
in former time desolate and waste. 3
30:4 By the brush 4 they would gather 5 herbs from the salt marshes, 6
and the root of the broom tree was their food.
30:5 They were banished from the community 7 –
people 8 shouted at them
like they would shout at thieves 9 –
30:6 so that they had to live 10
in the dry stream beds, 11
in the holes of the ground, and among the rocks.
