Job 30:5

5 Eran echados de entre las gentes, Y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.

Job 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.

Job 30:5 In-Context

3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre andaban solos; Huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.

4 Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, Y raíces de enebro para calentarse.

5 Eran echados de entre las gentes, Y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.

6 Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, En las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.

7 Bramaban entre las matas, Y se reunían debajo de las espinas.
