Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 24:6

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

Either the poor, who are forced to gather in the Corn and Grapes of their wicked Oppressors: Or rather 2. the Oppressors, of whom he speaks, v. 4, 5, & 7.

i. e. The Corn of the wicked, as it is in the next Clause. Or, that which is not their own; as the Seventy, and Chaldee, and Vulgar Latine translate it, reading the Hebrew as two distinct words: They reap other men's labours.

i. e. In the Field of the right Owner from whom they take it. He notes their great power and boldness, that they did not come suddenly and carry away their Corn when it was laid up in the Barns, or in heaps, but they proceeded leisurely, and stayed to reap the Corn, and by degrees carried it away; as it were in triumph, not fearing any interruption or hindrance either from God or man.

Of such as themselves: So they promiscuously robbed all, even their own Brethren in iniquity: whereby also he may intimate the righteous [illegible: 1+ letters]udgment of God in punishing one wicked man by another, and in depriving men of those goods which they [illegible: 1+ letters]ad wickedly gotten. Or, the wicked (the Singular Number being used collectively for the Plural, as is frequent, the Oppressors) gather the vintage; to wit, belonging to other men.
