Job 15:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

How much more abominable and filthy is man If saints are not to be trusted, much less sinners. If the heavens are not pure; if heavenly beings, who maintained their allegiance to their Maker, are not free from imperfection, when compared with God, much less is man, who is degenerated, and has rebelled against him. Which drinketh iniquity like water Who, besides his natural proneness to sin, has contracted habits of sinning; and sins as freely, as greedily, and delightfully, as men, especially in those hot countries, drink up water.

Job 15:16

16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
