Contextual Overview

¹ Considering then that there is no time hyd from the almightie, how happeneth it that they which know him do not regarde his dayes? ² For some men remoue the landemarkes, robbe men of their cattell, and feede of the same: ³ They driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, and take the wydowes oxe for a pledge: ⁴ They cause the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hyde them selues together. ⁵ Beholde, as wilde asses in the desert go they foorth to their worke, & ryse betimes to spoyle: Yea the very wildernesse ministreth foode for them & their children. ⁶ They reape the corne fielde that is not their owne, and let the vineyarde of the vngodly alone. ⁷ They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde. ⁸ They are wet with the showres of the mountaynes, and embrace the rocke for want of a couering. ⁹ They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take the pledge from the poore. ¹⁰ They let hym go naked without clothing, and haue taken away the sheafe of the hungrie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They are wet with the showers of the mountains,.... They that are without any clothes to cover them, lying down at the bottom of a hill or mountain, where the clouds often gather, and there break, or the snow at the top of them melts through the heat of the day; and whether by the one or by the other, large streams of water run down the mountains, and the naked poor, or such who are thinly clothed, are all over wet therewith, as Nebuchadnezzar's body was with the dew of heaven, when he was driven from men, and lived among beasts, Daniel 4:33:

and embrace the rock for want of a shelter; or habitation, as the Targum; having no house to dwell in, nor any raiment to cover them, they were glad to get into the hole of a rock, in a cave or den there, and where some good men in former times were obliged to wander,

Hebrews 11:38; and whither mean persons, in the time and country in which Job lived, were driven to dwell in, see Job 30:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They are wet with the showers of the mountains - That is, the poor persons, or the travelers whom they have robbed. Hills collect the clouds, and showers seem to pour down from the mountains. These showers often collect and pour down so suddenly that there is scarcely time to seek a shelter.

And embrace the rock for want of a shelter - Take refuge beneath a projecting rock. The robbers drive them away from their homes, or plunder them of their tents, and leave them to find a shelter from the storm, or at night, beneath a rock. This agrees exactly with what Niebuhr says of the wandering Arabs near mount Sinai: “Those who cannot afford a tent, spread out a cloth upon four or six stakes; and others spread their cloth near a tree, or endeavor to shelter themselves from the heat and the rain in the cavities of the rocks.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 24:8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains — Mr. Good thinks that torrents, not showers, is the proper translation of the original זרם zerem; but I think showers of the mountain strictly proper. I have seen many of these in mountainous countries, where the tails of water-spouts have been intercepted and broken, and the outpouring of them would be incredible to those who have never witnessed similar phenomena. The rain fell in torrents, and produced torrents on the land, carrying away earth and stones and every thing before them, scooping out great gullies in the sides of the mountains. Mountain torrents are not produced but by such extraordinary outpourings of rain, formed either by water-spouts, or by vast masses of clouds intercepted and broken to pieces by the mountain tops.

And embrace the rock for want of a shelter. — In such cases as that related above, the firm rock is the only shelter which can be found, or safely trusted.
