Thomas Aquinas, on Job 24:5

Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
Job 24:5 · Douay-Rheims
“Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.”
On this verse:
“However, there are some who do not harm others fraudulently like those already described, but through open violence. These men rush to do evil like people who are not restrained by the discipline of the law. He says about these men, "Others like the wild asses in the desert," the wild asses of the forests who are not domesticated to the service of men, "go forth to their work," to robbery like one who is enthusiastic for his profession. So he says, "and they keep their eyes open for plunder," to snatch it, "and they prepare bread for their children," that is, for their own children from what they have stolen.”
