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 pick mallow and the leaves of bushes, and to warm themselves the roots of broom.

5 They are driven out from society; people shout after them as after a thief.

6 In the gullies of wadis they must live, in holes in the ground, and in the rocks.

7 Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they huddle together.

8 A senseless, disreputable brood, they have been whipped out of the land.
