They pluck salt herbs by the bushes.
The roots of the broom tree are their food.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 30:4 in context
Job 30:1–7
1
“But now those who are younger than I have me in derision,
whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.
2
Of what use is the strength of their hands to me,
men in whom ripe age has perished?
3
They are gaunt from lack and famine.
They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
4
Selected verse
They pluck salt herbs by the bushes.
The roots of the broom tree are their food.
5
They are driven out from among men.
They cry after them as after a thief,
6
so that they live in frightful valleys,
and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7
They bray among the bushes.
They are gathered together under the nettles.
