Job 24:6
_ _ Like the wild asses (Job 24:5) they (these Bedouin robbers) reap (metaphorically) their various grain (so the Hebrew for “corn” means). The wild ass does not let man pile his mixed provender up in a stable (Isaiah 30:24); so these robbers find their food in the open air, at one time in the desert (Job 24:5), at another in the fields.
_ _ the vintage of the wicked — Hebrew, “the wicked gather the vintage”; the vintage of robbery, not of honest industry. If we translate “belonging to the wicked,” then it will imply that the wicked alone have vineyards, the “pious poor” (Job 24:4) have none. “Gather” in Hebrew, is “gather late.” As the first clause refers to the early harvest of corn, so the second to the vintage late in autumn. |
Job 24:6
They — The oppressors. Wicked — Of such as themselves: so they promiscuously robbed all, even their brethren in iniquity. |
Job 24:6
They reap [every one] (f) his corn in the field: and they gather the (g) vintage of the wicked.
(f) Meaning the poor man's.
(g) Signifying that one wicked man will not spoil another, but for necessity. |
- They reap:
Deuteronomy 28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
Deuteronomy 28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which [also] shall not leave thee [either] corn, wine, or oil, [or] the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
Judges 6:3-6 And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; ... And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
Micah 6:15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
