Contextual Overview

5 Is not thy wickednesse great, and thy vngratious deedes innumerable? 6 For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothing. 7 To such as were weery, hast thou geuen no water to drinke, & hast withdrawen bread from the hungrie. 8 But the mightie man had the earth, and he that was in auctoritie dwelt in it. 9 Thou hast sent wydowes away emptie, and the armes of the fatherlesse were broken. 10 Therefore art thou compassed about with snares, & sodenly vexed with feare. 11 Shouldest thou then see no darknesse? shoulde not the water fludde run ouer thee? 12 Is not God on high in the heauen? beholde the heyght of the starres how hie they are. 13 Wilt thou therfore say, Tushe, howe should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude? 14 Tushe, the cloudes couer him that he may not see, and he walketh on the top of heauen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink,.... To a weary thirsty traveller, to whom in those hot countries cold water was very refreshing, and which in desert places was not to be had in common, or any where; rich men were possessed of their wells and fountains, and were kept for their own use, and it was a kindness and favour to obtain water of them; and yet a cup of cold water is one of the least favours to be given to a poor man, and to deny it him in distress was very inhuman, and was very far from Job's character:

and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry: bread, which strengthens man's heart, and is the staff of life, without which he cannot support; and this is not to be withheld from, but given even to an enemy when hungry; and to deny it to a poor neighbour in such circumstances is very cruel; the charge is, that Job would not give a poor hungry man a morsel of bread to eat; which must be false, being directly contrary to what he strongly asserts, Job 31:17.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 22:7. Thou hast not given water — It was esteemed a great virtue in the East to furnish thirsty travellers with water; especially in the deserts, where scarcely a stream was to be found, and where wells were very rare. Some of the Indian devotees are accustomed to stand with a girbah or skin full of water, on the public roads, to give drink to weary travellers who are parched with thirst.
