6 They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks.

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 mallow by the bushes, And broom tree roots for their food.

5 They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief.

6 They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks.

7 Among the bushes they brayed, Under the nettles they nestled.

8 They were sons of fools, Yes, sons of vile men; They were scourged from the land.
