Thomas Aquinas, on Job 24:4

“They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.”

“Men also usually pity the poor who lack the means of economic survival, and against this he says, "They utterly ruined the road of the poor," for they took from them the ability to procure necessities for themselves by harassing them in many ways. Also men usually desist from harming those who do no harm to anyone, but live agreeably with others, and against this he says, "and they oppressed the gentle of the earth at the same time," who did not know either how to provoke other or be provoked.”
