They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
Eran hijos de gente necia, sí, hijos de hombres sin valor: eran más despreciados que la tierra.
Job describe a sus perseguidores como descendientes de personas despreciables y sin honor.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Job is continuing his lament about how his social status has completely reversed. In ancient Middle Eastern culture, family lineage and social standing were extremely important, and being from a 'base' or dishonorable family meant exclusion from respectable society. Job is emphasizing that even people from the lowest social classes, who would normally never dare speak against a respected man like him, now feel free to mock and despise him.
