Scripture focus

7. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. 8. But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it. 9. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 10. Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; 11. Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. 12. [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! 13. And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? 14. Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. 15. Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

Commentary

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).
