Haydock's commentary
Not, is omitted by the Protestants. (Haydock)
Hebrew, "they reap in the field food for the cattle." (Calmet)
His. Hebrew, "the wicked man's vineyard." (Haydock)
They do not examine whether the person whom they plunder be just or not. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "they have reaped before the season the field which was not theirs. But the poor (helpless men) have laboured in the vineyards of the wicked without wages or meat." (Haydock)
Haydock wrote amid the controversies of his day. The Church teaches that those born into communities separated from her cannot be charged with the sin of separation, and embraces them as brothers (CCC 818).
