Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.
They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 1–14
Job contrasts his present condition with his former honour and authority. What little cause have men to be ambitious or proud of that which may be so easily lost, and what little confidence is to be put in it! We should not be cast down if we are despised, reviled, and hated by wicked men. We should look to Jesus, who endured the contradiction of sinners.
