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 They pluck saltwort and bitter leaves; these, with broom tree roots, are their food.

5 They are driven away from society, with men shouting after them as after a thief,

6 to live in gullies and vadis, in holes in the ground and caves in the rocks.

7 Among the bushes they howl like beasts and huddle among the nettles,

8 irresponsible nobodies driven from the land.
