To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 30 of Job. Job contrasts his former authority with his present humiliation before men whom he would once have considered inferior. He describes mockery, contempt, and loss of dignity. The social reversal intensifies his suffering: the one who once protected others now becomes an object of ridicule. The book thus shows that suffering affects identity, relationships, and social recognition.

in grausigen Tälern wohnen sie, in den Löchern der Erde und Steinritzen;
Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, En las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.
Vivían en barrancos de arroyos, en agujeros de la tierra y entre las rocas.
Ils habitent dans d'affreuses vallées, Dans les cavernes de la terre et dans les rochers;
Dimoravano ne’ dirupi delle valli, Nelle grotte della terra e delle rocce.
Para habitarem nos barrancos dos vales, e nas cavernas da terra e das rochas.
以致他們住在荒谷, 住在地洞和巖穴中。
