“They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.”
Job 30:4 (BSB)
Context Reading
2What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them? 3Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night. 4They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food. 5They were banished from among men, shouted at like thieves, 6so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
