Both occurrences use a common masculine plural noun in the absolute state. In Jeremiah 4:29 the APB renders people as climbing “among the rocks” while cities are abandoned; in Job 30:6 it places dwelling in “holes of dust and rocks.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural term as “rocks” in both verses, in clauses about climbing among them and dwelling amid them. This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
