Job 5:5 Douay-Rheims

Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

his harvest of the wicked man.
The hungry shall eat When the wicked man dies, the hungry whom he cut off during his lifetime shall come and take payment from his property.
and he will take it for the one saved from his weapons Like (Exod. 27:20), “and they shall take to you”; for the benefit of the poor man who was saved from the weapons of this wicked man, the judge who is appointed for that purpose shall take it [the estate of the wicked man].
shall swallow One of the thirsty ones whom he robbed during his lifetime shall swallow.
their riches Their money that this one stole during his lifetime.
