Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof,....

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
With the ancients ... - With the old men, the counselors.
Ye have eaten up the vineyard - Hebrew ‘Ye have burnt up’ - that is, you have oonsumed or destroyed it. By the vineyard is represented the Jewish republic or people; Psalms 80:9-13; compare the notes at Isaiah 5:1-7. The princes and rulers had, by their exactions and oppressions, ruined the people, and destroyed the country.
The spoil of the poor - The “plunder” of the poor; or that which you have taken from the poor by exactions and oppressions. The word “spoil” commonly means the plunder or booty which is obtained in war.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
