Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 24:8

8. They are met with the showers of the mountains , and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

i. e. The poor being stripped of their Rayment, and forced away from their houses.

With the Rain-water which in great showers runs down from the rocks or mountains into the caves or holes in the sides of them, to which they fled for shelter.

i. e. Are glad when they can find a Cavern or Cleft of a Rock in which they may have some protection against the Injuries of the Weather, and an hiding-place from the fury of their Oppressors. Compare Lament. 4. 5.
