Job24:3
3. They drive away the Ass of the Fatherless , they take the Widows Ox for a Pledge .
Either the asses, the singular number being used collectively. Or he saith the Ass, to aggravate their sin, that they robbed him who had but one Ass. Compare 2 Sam. 12. 2, 3, 4.
Whose helpless condition required their pity and mercy.
Thereby depriving her not only of the Ox itself, but of all the benefit of its labours, by which she sustained her Life.
Contrary to Gods Law, first written in mens Hearts, and afterwards in holy Scripture, Exod. 22▪ 26, 27. Deut. 24. 6, 10, &c.
