3Emaciated from poverty and hunger,
they gnawed the dry land,
the desolate wasteland by night.
4They plucked mallowBk among the shrubs,
and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
5They were banished from human society;
people shouted at them as if they were thieves.
6They are living on the slopes of the wadis,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
7They bray among the shrubs;
they huddle beneath the thistles.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Through want and hard hunger
they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;
they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,
and the roots of the broom tree for their food.
They are driven out from human company;
they shout after them as after a thief.
In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,
in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
Among the bushes they bray;
under the nettles they huddle together.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Haggard from want and hunger,
they roamed the parched land
in desolate wastelands at night.
In the brush they gathered salt herbs,
and their food was the root of the broom bush.
They were banished from human society,
shouted at as if they were thieves.
They were forced to live in the dry stream beds,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
They brayed among the bushes
and huddled in the undergrowth.

NLTNew Living Translation
They are gaunt from poverty and hunger.
They claw the dry ground in desolate wastelands.
They pluck wild greens from among the bushes
and eat from the roots of broom trees.
They are driven from human society,
and people shout at them as if they were thieves.
So now they live in frightening ravines,
in caves and among the rocks.
They sound like animals howling among the bushes,
huddled together beneath the nettles.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Through want and through barren hunger
they are gnawing in the dry region in the darkness of desolation and waste.
They are picking salt herbs, the leaves of bushes,
and the roots of broom trees to warm themselves.
They were driven out from fellow people;
they shout at them as at a thief,
so that they dwell
in holes of the ground and in the rocks.
They bray among the bushes;
they are gathered under the nettles.

KJV 1900King James Version
For want and famine they were solitary;
Fleeing into the wilderness
In former time desolate and waste.
Who cut up mallows by the bushes,
And juniper roots for their meat.
They were driven forth from among men,
(They cried after them as after a thief;)
To dwell in the clifts of the valleys,
In caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
Among the bushes they brayed;
Under the nettles they were gathered together.
