5 De la comunidad fueron expulsados, gritaban contra ellos como contra un ladrón.

Job 30:5 Meaning and Commentary

Job 30:5

They were driven from among [men]
From towns and cities, and all civil society, as unfit to be among them; not for any good, it may be observed, but for crimes that they had done, like our felons, and transported persons:

they cried after them as [after] a thief;
as they were driven and run along, the people called after them, saying, there goes a thief; which they said by way of abhorrence of them, and for the shame of them, and that all might be warned and cautioned against them; and, generally speaking, such as are idle and slothful, and thereby become miserable, are pilferers and thieves.

Job 30:5 In-Context

3 De miseria y hambre estaban extenuados; roían la tierra seca de noche en desierto y desolación;

4 arrancaban malvas junto a los matorrales, y raíz de retama era su alimento.

5 De la comunidad fueron expulsados, gritaban contra ellos como contra un ladrón.

6 Moraban en valles de terror, en las cuevas de la tierra y de las peñas.

7 Entre los matorrales clamaban; bajo las ortigas se reunían.
