3 Haggard from want and hunger,

they roamed the parched land

in desolate wastelands at night.

3 For want and famine they were solitary;

Fleeing into the wilderness

In former time desolate and waste.

3 They are gaunt from poverty and hunger.

They claw the dry ground in desolate wastelands.

3 They are gaunt from want and famine,

Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,

3 They were thin from hunger

and wandered the dry and ruined land at night.

3 They are gaunt with want and famine;

They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

3 Withered up through want and hunger, they flee into waste places long since desolate and desert:

3 Shriveled up from need and hunger, 

they gnaw at the dry and barren ground during the night. 

3 Emaciated from poverty and hunger,

they gnawed the dry land,

the desolate wasteland by night.

3 Through want and hard hunger

they gnaw the dry and desolate ground,

3 Through want and through barren hunger

they are gnawing in the dry region in the darkness of desolation and waste.

3 They were weak because they were needy and hungry.

They wandered through dry and empty deserts at night.

3 “From want and famine they are gaunt

Who gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,
