Contextual Overview

¹ Considering then that there is no time hyd from the almightie, how happeneth it that they which know him do not regarde his dayes? ² For some men remoue the landemarkes, robbe men of their cattell, and feede of the same: ³ They driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, and take the wydowes oxe for a pledge: ⁴ They cause the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hyde them selues together. ⁵ Beholde, as wilde asses in the desert go they foorth to their worke, & ryse betimes to spoyle: Yea the very wildernesse ministreth foode for them & their children. ⁶ They reape the corne fielde that is not their owne, and let the vineyarde of the vngodly alone. ⁷ They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde. ⁸ They are wet with the showres of the mountaynes, and embrace the rocke for want of a couering. ⁹ They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take the pledge from the poore. ¹⁰ They let hym go naked without clothing, and haue taken away the sheafe of the hungrie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They turn the needy out of the way,.... Either, in a moral sense, out of the right way, the way of righteousness and truth, by their bad examples, or by their threatenings or flatteries; or, in a civil sense, out of the way of their livelihood, by taking that from them by which they got it; or, in a literal sense, obliging them to turn out of the way from them, in a supercilious and haughty manner, or causing them, through fear of them, to get out of the way, that they might not meet them, lest they should insult them, beat and abuse them, or take that little from them they had, as follows:

the poor of the earth hide themselves together; who are not only poor in purse, but poor in spirit, meek, humble, and lowly, and have not spirit and courage to stand against such oppressors, but are easily crushed by them; these through fear of them hide themselves in holes and corners in a body, in a large company together, lest they should fall into their cruel hands, and be used by them in a barbarous manner, see Proverbs 28:28.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They turn the needy out of the way - They crowd the poor out of the path, and thus oppress and injure them. They do not allow them the advantages of the highway.

The poor of the earth hide themselves together - For fear of the rich and mighty man. Driven from the society of the rich, without their patronage and friendship, they are obliged to associate together, and find in the wicked man neither protector nor friend. And yet the proud oppressor is not punished.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 24:4. They turn the needy out of the way — They will not permit them to go by the accustomed paths; they oblige them to take circuitous routes. When the Marquis of H. was made ranger of Richmond Park, he thought it his duty to shut up a pathway which had existed for a long time; and those who presumed, after this shutting up, to break the fence, and take that path as formerly, were prosecuted. A cobbler near the place entered an action against the marquis: the cause was tried, the marquis cast, and the path ordered to be opened, on the ground that it had, time out of mind, been a public undisputed path. When one asked the cobbler, "How he could have the boldness to go to law with the Marquis of H.?" he answered, "Because I did not like to leave the world worse than I found it." All tolerated oppression and voluntary forfeiture of ancient rights, are injurious to society at large, and they who wink at them leave the world worse than they found it.
