Job 22:7 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou hast not given water to the weary - That is, thou hast withheld the rites of hospitality - one of the most grievous offences which could be charged on an Arabian; compare the notes at Isaiah 21:14. In all the Oriental world, hospitality was regarded, and is still, as a duty of the highest obligation.

Job 22:7

7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
