Job 24:7

7 Por no tener ropa, se pasan la noche desnudos;¡no tienen con qué protegerse del frío!

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 Como asnos salvajes del desierto,se afanan los pobres por encontrar su presa,y el páramo da de comer a sus hijos.

6 En campos ajenos recogen forraje,y en las viñas de los malvados recogen uvas.

7 Por no tener ropa, se pasan la noche desnudos;¡no tienen con qué protegerse del frío!

8 Las lluvias de las montañas los empapan;no teniendo más abrigo, se arriman a las peñas.

9 Al huérfano se le aparta de los pechos de su madre;al pobre se le retiene a cambio de una deuda.
