2 The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself.
3 Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.
4 And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
5 Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry.

7 They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers.
8 The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth.
