OET (OET-RV) They spend the night under-dressed from lack of clothing,
⇔ ≈and have nothing to cover themselves with in the cold.

עָר֣וֹם
naked
As in 22:6, the word naked here does not mean without any clothing. Rather, as the context indicates, it means without sufficient clothing, in this case without an outer garment that would also serve as a blanket. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “exposed”

The poor people whom Job is talking about may be without a garment because: (1) wicked people have taken their outer garments in pledge and not returned them, as Eliphaz describes in 22:6. This would suit the context, in which Job is describing how wicked people oppress poor people. Alternate translation: “without a garment because wicked people have taken their garments in pledge and not returned them” (2) they are too poor to afford outer garments. Alternate translation: “without outer garments because they have become too poor to afford them”
24:7 Unjust lenders sometimes left debtors without clothing or covering, which they had seized as collateral on loans (22:6; Exod 22:26-27; Deut 24:11-13; Amos 2:8).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
