8. They-the plundered travellers.

embrace the rock-take refuge under it (La 4:5).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:1-12 Job discourses further about the prosperity of the wicked. That many live at ease who are ungodly and profane, he had showed, ch. xxi. Here he shows that many who live in open defiance of all the laws of justice, succeed in wicked practices; and we do not see them reckoned with in this world. He notices those that do wrong under pretence of law and authority; and robbers, those that do wrong by force. He says, God layeth not folly to them; that is, he does not at once send his judgments, nor make them examples, and so manifest their folly to all the world. But he that gets riches, and not by right, at his end shall be a fool, Jer 17:11.

Job 24:7 "They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering against the cold.

Job 24:9 "Others snatch the orphan from the breast, And against the poor they take a pledge. (NASB ©1995)
