Isaiah 16:2
Like a bird fleeing, forced from the nest, the daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.

Job 24:8-12
Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks, shelterless.The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry sheaves but go hungry.They crush olives in their presses; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.From the city, men groan; the mortally wounded cry for help, yet God pays no attention to this crime.

Genesis 4:12-14
If you work the ground, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”But Cain answered the LORD,“ My punishment is too great to bear!Since you are banishing me today from the face of the earth, and I must hide from your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.”

2 Samuel 3 29
May it hang over Joab’s head and his father’s whole family, and may the house of Joab never be without someone who has a discharge or a skin disease, or a man who can only work a spindle, or someone who falls by the sword or starves.”

Psalms 59:15
They scavenge for food; they growl if they are not satisfied.

Job 30:3-9
Emaciated from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, the desolate wasteland by night.They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.They were banished from human society; people shouted at them as if they were thieves.They are living on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.They bray among the shrubs; they huddle beneath the thistles.Foolish men, without even a name. They were forced to leave the land.Now I am mocked by their songs; I have become an object of scorn to them.

2 Kings 5 27
Therefore, Naaman’s skin disease will cling to you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence diseased, resembling snow.
