Job 30:6 Meaning and Commentary

Job 30:6

To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys
Or "brooks" ^F12, in such hollow places as were made by floods and streams of waters:

[in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks;
where they betook themselves for fear of men, and through shame, being naked and miserable not fit to be seen: Job has respect to the Horites and Troglodytes, his neighbours, who dwelt in such places chiefly.

Job 30:6 In-Context

4 who pluck off the leaves on a bush, the root of the broom— a shrub is their food.

5 People banish them from society, shout at them as if to a thief;

6 so they live in scary ravines, holes in the ground and rocks.

7 Among shrubs, they make sounds like donkeys; they are huddled together under a bush,

8 children of fools and the nameless, whipped out of the land.
