Job 30:6

6 So that they dwell in frightful valleys, And in holes of the earth and of 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 They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom are their food.

5 They are driven forth from the midst of men; They cry after them as after a thief;

6 So that they dwell in frightful valleys, And in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

7 Among the bushes they bray; And under the nettles they are gathered together.

8 They are children of fools, yes, children of base men. They were flogged out of the land.
