Job 30:4 in Context — Job 30

2 De que também me serviria força de suas mãos, nos quais o vigor já pereceu?

3 Por causa da pobreza e da fome andavam sós; roem na terra seca, no lugar desolado e deserto em trevas.

4 Que colhiam malvas entre os arbustos, e seu alimento eram as raízes dos zimbros.

5 Do meio [das pessoas] eram expulsos, e gritavam contra eles, como a um ladrão.

6 Habitavam nos barrancos dos ribeiros secos, nos buracos da terra, e nas rochas.
