This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The naked, i.e. those whom they have made naked, whom they stripped of their garments and coverings; so far were they from exercising justice or charity towards them.
To lodge; to sleep in the night, which is the coldest season.
Without clothing; without bed-clothes to cover them: compare Deu_24:13.
In the cold of the night of the winter season. This verse is and may fitly be rendered thus, They cause men to lodge naked, because they have no clothing, (i.e. because they leave them nothing wherewith they can clothe themselves,) and
no covering in the cold; they leave them neither raiment to wear in the day, nor a covering for the night.
