An exposition with practical observations continued upon the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters…

Thirdly, The hungry, may be taken for those poor oppressed ones, whose estates those Nimrods of the world had unjustly and cruelly ravished from them. They, whom wicked men make hungry and lean by their exactions and cruel dealings, come at last (though unbidden and unwelcome guests) to eat the bread from their Tables. And these poor Hungry-ones are conceived by some to be Wisdoms children, the people of God, whom those wicked fools had stripped of their estates, and would have eaten them too like bread, Psal. 14. So the Septuagint renders it, The just or ¹the godly shall eat up or devour the harvest of this rich worldling. Put both these together, and this may be the sense, The hungry eateth up his harvest, that is, the godly poor, whom this man had unjustly oppressed, and even put to starving, God, by his just judgement shall send in, to take free Quarter, to eat their fill of his harvest, and never reckon with their host.
