rocks or rocky places serving as refuge or dwelling
This term denotes rocks or rocky places, possibly an Aramaic loan-word. It appears in Job 30:6, describing desperate people dwelling in rocks, and Jeremiah 4:29, where people flee into rocks as cities are abandoned before invasion. The plural form suggests rocky areas, cliffs, or caves - places offering shelter, whether for the destitute or the fleeing. The contexts emphasize extremity: either utter destitution (Job) or desperate refuge from military threat (Jeremiah). Rocks become home only under duress.

1. sense 1 — Rocky places serving as refuge or dwelling for those in desperate circumstances. In Jeremiah, entire populations flee to rocks as invaders approach, while in Job the description emphasizes the degraded state of outcasts living in rocks and caves. The term captures natural features that offer shelter when normal habitations fail, either through poverty or invasion, representing marginalization and desperation. 2×
