Commentary for Job 24:8
מִזֶּ֣רֶם הָרִ֣ים יִרְטָ֑בוּ וּֽמִבְּלִ֥י מַ֝חְסֶ֗ה חִבְּקוּ־צֽוּר׃
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
Rashi on Job
From the stream that flows from the mountains, these naked people became wet and damp because they have no cover. They have no refuge under which to shelter themselves.
