Job 24:7

7 nudos dimittunt homines indumenta tollentes quibus non est operimentum in frigore

Job 24:7 Meaning and Commentary

Job 24:7

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing
That is, such as are poorly clothed, thinly arrayed, have scarce anything but rags, and yet so cruel the wicked men above described, that they take these away from the poor, and even their bed clothes, which seem chiefly designed; so that they are obliged to lodge or lie all night without anything upon them:

that [they have] no covering in the cold;
neither in the daytime, nor in the night, and especially the latter; and having no house to go to, and obliged to lay themselves down upon the bare ground, had nothing to cover them from the inclemency of the weather; for even in hot countries nights are sometimes cold, and large dews fall, yea, sometimes it is a frost, see ( Genesis 31:40 ) .

Job 24:7 In-Context

5 alii quasi onagri in deserto egrediuntur ad opus suum vigilantesque ad praedam praeparant panem liberis
6 agrum non suum demetunt et vineam eius quem vi oppresserunt vindemiant
7 nudos dimittunt homines indumenta tollentes quibus non est operimentum in frigore
8 quos imbres montium rigant et non habentes velamen amplexantur lapides
9 vim fecerunt depraedantes pupillos et vulgum pauperem spoliaverunt
