Commentary on Job 22:7

Theological / Devotional

Water. To give water to the thirsty was regarded in the East as one of the most elementary duties of man to his fellow men (Prov. 25:21). Isaiah commended the Temanites (Eliphaz’ people) because they “brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that died” (Isa. 21:14).
