2 They were a bunch of worn-out men,too weak to do any work for me.
3 They were so poor and hungrythat they would gnaw dry roots —at night, in wild, desolate places.
4 They pulled up the plants of the desert and ate them,even the tasteless roots of the broom tree!
5 Everyone drove them away with shouts,as if they were shouting at thieves.
6 They had to live in caves,in holes dug in the sides of cliffs.
7 Out in the wilds they howled like animalsand huddled together under the bushes.
8 A worthless bunch of nameless nobodies!They were driven out of the land.
