Context of Job 24:7
5Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert, they go about their work, foraging prey in the desert as food for their children. 6They reap their fodder in the field and glean in the vineyard of the wicked. Without clothing they spend the night naked, without covering against the cold. 8They are drenched by mountain rains, and hug the rock for lack of shelter. 9The orphan is snatched from the breast; the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing - Or rather, They spend the night naked, without clothing; and without a covering from the cold: another characteristic of the wandering Arabs. 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
