Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 24:6

6. Like the wild asses ( :- ) 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 ( Isaiah 30:24- : ), 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" ( Isaiah 30:24- : ) 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. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
