Job 24:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. They reap every one his corn in the field - This is perfectly characteristic. These wandering hordes often make sudden irruptions, and carry off the harvest of grain, olives, vines, etc., and plunge with it into the wilderness, where none can follow them. The Chaldee gives the same sense: "They reap in a field that is not their own, and cut off the vineyard of the wicked."

Job 24:6

6 They reap every one his cornb in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
