For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Has exigido garantías a tus hermanos sin razón, y has quitado la ropa a los que no tenían nada más que dar.
Job es acusado de explotar a los pobres quitándoles sus últimas posesiones como garantía injustamente.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Job, this verse is part of Eliphaz's speech, where he falsely accuses Job of exploiting the vulnerable as a way to explain Job's suffering, even though Job is depicted as a righteous man. In ancient Israelite culture, taking a pledge referred to holding collateral like clothing for a loan, which was strictly regulated by the Mosaic Law to protect the poor from further hardship. This reflects the broader biblical emphasis on justice and mercy toward the needy in a society where debt and poverty were common challenges.
