Job 30:5

5 qui de convallibus ista rapientes cum singula repperissent ad ea cum clamore currebant

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 egestate et fame steriles qui rodebant in solitudine squalentes calamitate et miseria

4 et mandebant herbas et arborum cortices et radix iuniperorum erat cibus eorum

5 qui de convallibus ista rapientes cum singula repperissent ad ea cum clamore currebant

6 in desertis habitabant torrentium et in cavernis terrae vel super glaream

7 qui inter huiuscemodi laetabantur et esse sub sentibus delicias conputabant
