Job 30:3
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
KJV
egestate et fame steriles, qui rodebant in solitudine, squallentes calamitate et miseria.
Vulgate
ἐν ἐνδείᾳ καὶ λιμῷ ἄγονος, οἱ φεύγοντες ἄνυδρον ἐχθὲς συνοχὴν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν·
LXX
They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.
