The question do not all the workers of iniquity know and do they not eat up my people as they eat bread? expresses bewilderment that the wicked seem oblivious to accountability and prey on the vulnerable without conscience. The eating imagery suggests predatory consumption, making the wicked like wild animals devouring prey. The mention of God's people as the wicked's victims suggests that even the covenant community faces destruction from those who reject divine authority. This verse articulates the theological scandal: the wicked flourish while the righteous suffer.
