Job 24:7

7 Al desnudo hacen dormir sin ropa, y que en el frío no tenga cobertura

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 He aquí, como asnos monteses en el desierto, salen a su obra madrugando para robar; el desierto es su mantenimiento y de sus hijos

6 En el campo siegan su pasto, y los impíos vendimian la viña ajena

7 Al desnudo hacen dormir sin ropa, y que en el frío no tenga cobertura

8 De la inundación de los montes fueron humedecidos, y abrazan las peñas sin tener en qué cubrirse

9 Quitan el pecho a los huérfanos, y de sobre el pobre toman la prenda
