Job 30:3 in Context — Job 30

1 MAS ahora los más mozos de días que yo, se ríen de mí; cuyos padres yo desdeñara ponerlos con los perros de mi ganado.

2 Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?

3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre [andaban] solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.

4 Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.

5 Eran echados de entre [las gentes], y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.
