Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
