Context of Job 24:7
5Poor people have to look for food to eat, like wild donkeys in the desert. They have to find food for their children to eat. 6They find grain in the fields of other people. They pick grapes that remain in the vineyards of wicked people. They have no clothes to wear during the cold nights. They sleep without anything to cover themselves. 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.

They are ill-fed, ill-clothed. and often miserable off, even for tents. They can have little household stuff: as they are plunderers, they are often obliged to fly for their lives, and cannot encumber themselves with what is not absolutely needful.Read the comment
