SCRIPTURE

"There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them." — Job 24:2 (ASV)

Some remove the landmarks. —Now follows a description of the wrongdoings of various classes of men. The removal of landmarks was expressly forbidden by the Mosaic Law (Deuteronomy 19:14; Deuteronomy 27:17).

And feed thereof. —Rather, probably, feed them: i.e., pasture them, which is easier to do once the landmarks are removed.
