Job 30:7

5 They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,

6 so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.

8 A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.

9 And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
