Psalms 109:10

109:10 May his children roam around begging,

asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!

Job 15:23

15:23 he wanders about – food for vultures;

he knows that the day of darkness is at hand.

Job 30:1-7

Job’s Present Misery

30:1 “But now they mock me, those who are younger than I,

whose fathers I disdained too much

to put with my sheep dogs.

30:2 Moreover, the strength of their hands –

what use was it to me?

Men whose strength had perished;

30:3 gaunt with want and hunger,

they would gnaw the parched land,

in former time desolate and waste.

30:4 By the brush they would gather herbs from the salt marshes,

and the root of the broom tree was their food.

30:5 They were banished from the community –

people shouted at them

like they would shout at thieves –

30:6 so that they had to live

in the dry stream beds,

in the holes of the ground, and among the rocks.

30:7 They brayed like animals among the bushes

and were huddled together under the nettles.

Isaiah 8:21

8:21 They will pass through the land destitute and starving. Their hunger will make them angry, and they will curse their king and their God as they look upward.
