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 Die door gebrek en honger eenzaam waren, vliedende naar dorre plaatsen, in het donkere, woeste en verwoeste.
4 Die ziltige kruiden plukten bij de struiken, en welker spijze was de wortel der jeneveren.
5 Zij werden uit het midden uitgedreven; (men jouwde over hen, als over een dief),
6 Opdat zij wonen zouden in de kloven der dalen, de holen des stofs en der steenrotsen.
7 Zij schreeuwden tussen de struiken; onder de netelen vergaderden zij zich.
