Job 30:2-4
New American Standard Bible

2 Indeed, what good was the strength of their hands to me?
Vigor had perished from them.
3 From poverty and famine they are gaunt,
They who gnaw at the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,
4 Who pluck saltweed by the bushes,
And whose food is the root of the broom shrub.

Job 30:2-4
New International Version

2 Of what use was the strength of their hands to me,
    since their vigor had gone from them?
3 Haggard from want and hunger,
    they roamed[a] the parched land(A)
    in desolate wastelands(B) at night.(C)
4 In the brush they gathered salt herbs,(D)
    and their food[b] was the root of the broom bush.(E)
