5They are driven from human society,

and people shout at them as if they were thieves.

6So now they live in frightening ravines,

in caves and among the rocks.

7They sound like animals howling among the bushes,

huddled together beneath the nettles.

8They are nameless fools,

outcasts from society.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

A senseless, a nameless brood,

they have been whipped out of the land.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

A base and nameless brood,

they were driven out of the land.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

They were banished from human society;

people shouted at them as if they were thieves.

They are living on the slopes of the wadis,

among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

They bray among the shrubs;

they huddle beneath the thistles.

Foolish men, without even a name.

They were forced to leave the land.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

A senseless crowd, yes, a disreputable brood,

they were cast out from the land.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

They were children of fools, yea, children of base men:

They were viler than the earth.
