AMP Footnotes
Lit finds no favor in his eyes.
Lit hates.
A poor man might have only an outer garment to offer as a pledge of repayment.
Lit sets his heart.
The divine laws for harvesting give a clear picture of how Israel was to provide for the feeding of the poor and destitute, in addition to charitable contributions which were required or expected of anyone who was able. The owner of a field or farm was entitled to everything he could harvest with a reasonable effort. God reserved any leftovers for the poor, who for their part had to put in their own efforts to glean the fields. These laws are examples of charity in cooperation with fairness and the work ethic.
