Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
Even out of the thorns - even when part of the grain remains hanging on the thorn bushes (or, is growing among thorns, Matthew 13:7), the hungry gleaner does not grudge the trouble of taking even it away, so clean swept away is the harvest of the wicked. Maurer explains, not even the hedge of thorns prevents the hungry gleaner carrying the sinner's harvest away from his fields. It gives, additional point to understand by "the hungry" those whom the sinner had oppressed, "taking away the sheaf from the hungry" (Job 24:10).
The robber, х tsamiym (H6782)] - as the Sabeans who robbed Job. Rather translate, the thirsty, as the antithesis in the parallelism, the hungry, proves. Maurer translates 'The snare (i:e., sudden ruin) gapes for their substance.' This is favoured by Job 18:9-10; but the English version translates the Hebrew there also "robber."
