Job 24:6

The verse reads,

They reap their fodder in the field,

And glean the vineyard of the wicked.

The coarse food which they can possess themselves of is called by the poet "their fodder"; it is scarcely grain; and for fruit they have only the forgotten or neglected late gleanings of the vineyard of the wicked. The term "wicked" seems to mean here the rich, inhumane lords of the soil; comp. the converse use of "rich" for "wicked," Isaiah 53:9.
