Holy Scripture

Job 24:6

A church father on this verse
“They reap a field not their own, and the vineyard of him whom they have oppressed by violence they gather. By the name of a 'field' may be denoted the wide compass of Holy Scripture, and Heretics 'reap' it not being their own, in that they carry away from it sentences which are infinitely removed from their own notion…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XVI

5And they have departed like asses in the field, Having gone forth on my account according to their own order: His bread is sweet to his little ones.
