Behold, as wild asses Which are lawless and fierce, and greedy of prey; in the desert Which is the proper habitation of wild asses, Jeremiah 2:24: they go forth to their work These oppressors go forth to spoil and rob, which is their constant work and trade: rising betimes for the prey Beginning their work of plunder before the poor go to their daily labour. The wilderness yieldeth food for them They are so diligent and industrious in their wicked work, that they fetch food for themselves and families even out of desert places, in which the owners can with difficulty subsist.
