Job 24:2

Men ¹  move boundary stones; they seize the flock and pasture them. ² 

De 19:14; De 27:17; Job 1:15,17; Job 5:5; Pr 22:28; Pr 23:10; Ho 5:10

¹ tn The line is short: “they move boundary stones.” So some commentators have supplied a subject, such as “wicked men.” The reason for its being wicked men is that to move the boundary stone was to encroach dishonestly on the lands of others (Deut 19:14; 27:17).

² tc The LXX reads “and their shepherd.” Many commentators accept this reading. But the MT says that they graze the flocks that they have stolen. The difficulty with the MT reading is that there is no suffix on the final verb – but that is not an insurmountable difference.
