“To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.”
They must dwell in the clefts of wadis, in holes of the earth and the rocks, describing how the mockers are forced to inhabit the most marginal spaces, caves and crevices that are barely human habitation. The dwelling in clefts of wadis suggests natural cavities rather than constructed shelter. The holes of the earth and rocks emphasize subterranean existence. The verse portrays the mockers as living at the very margins of human civilization, in spaces that barely qualify as shelter.
