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.
30:7 They brayed 12 like animals among the bushes
and were huddled together 13 under the nettles.
30:8 Sons of senseless and nameless people, 14
they were driven out of the land with whips. 15
