Job24:10

10. They cause him to go naked without clothing and they take away the sheaf from the hungry .

The poor oppressed person.

Leaving him nothing, or next to nothing to cover him in the Day-time, when he should go abroad to his labour to get his living, but cannot for want of Cloaths to cover his nakedness.

That single Sheaf which the poor man had got with the sweat of his Brows to satisfie his hunger, they unhumanely take away, and added it to their own Stores and full Barns. Or, they are hungry; or they sent them away hungry; those words being repeated cut of the former Clause of the Verse, as is most usual[illegible: 1+ letters] which took or carried the sheaf, or their sheaves; i. e. which re[illegible: 1+ letters]ped and gathered in the rich man's Corn, for which they received injuries in stead of a just Recompence for their labour; and that when God's liberality, and the bounty of the earth to them invited and obliged them to kind and generous actions to others.
