Context of Job 24:10

8The rain that falls in the mountains makes them very wet. So they hide among the rocks where they try to keep dry. 9When wicked people lend money to poor people, they even take a child whose father has died away from his mother. Poor people have to go out with no clothes to wear. They are hungry while they carry the crops of other people. 11They squeeze oil from olives that grow in the fields of other people. They also make wine from other people's grapes. But they themselves are thirsty. 12In the cities, people who are dying cry with pain. They call for help, but God does not punish the people who have hurt them.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10They cause him to go naked - These cruel, hard-hearted oppressors seize the cloth made for the family wear, or the wool and flax out of which such clothes should be made. And they take away the sheaf - Seize the grain as soon as it is reaped, that they may pay themselves the exorbitant rent at which they have leased out their land: and thus the sheaf - the thraves and ricks, by which they should have been supported, are taken away from the hungry.Read the comment

Moses commanded that even the ox should not be muzzled that trod out the grain Deuteronomy 25:4; but here was more aggravated cruelty than that would be, in compelling men to bear the sheaf of the harvest without allowing them even to satisfy their hunger.
