5 Aus der Mitte der Menschen werden sie vertrieben; man schreit über sie wie über einen Dieb.

Hiob 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.

Hiob 30:5 In-Context

3 Durch Mangel und Hunger abgezehrt, nagen sie das dürre Land ab, welches längst öde und verödet ist;
4 sie pflücken Salzkraut bei den Gesträuchen, und die Wurzel der Ginster ist ihre Speise.
5 Aus der Mitte der Menschen werden sie vertrieben; man schreit über sie wie über einen Dieb.
6 In grausigen Klüften müssen sie wohnen, in Erdlöchern und Felsenhöhlen.
7 Zwischen Gesträuchen kreischen sie, unter Dorngestrüpp sind sie hingestreckt.
