Contextual Overview

1 Elihu proceeding in his aunswere, sayde: 2 Heare my wordes O ye wise men, hearken vnto me ye that haue vnderstanding: 3 For the eare discerneth wordes, and the mouth tasteth the meates. 4 As for iudgement, let vs seke it out among our selues, that we may knowe what is good. 5 [And why?] Iob hath sayd, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement. 6 In my right I shoulde be a lyer: my wounde is incurable without my fault. 7 Where is there such a one as Iob, that drinketh vp scornefulnesse like water? 8 Which goeth in the companie of wicked doers, and walketh with vngodly men? 9 For he hath sayde, It profiteth a man nothing that he shoulde walke with God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

What man [is] like Job,.... This is said as wondering at the part he acted, that a man so wise and good as Job was esteemed to be should behave in such a manner as he did;

[who] drinketh up scorning like water? For a foolish and wicked man to do so is not strange nor uncommon; but for a man of such sense and grace as Job was to do this was astonishing; to have no more regard to his character than to expose himself to the scorn and ridicule of men: for a man to become a laughing stock to profane and wicked men for his religion and piety, it is no disgrace, but an honour to him; but by unbecoming words and gestures to make himself justly jeered and scoffed at is great indiscretion. Or it may be understood actively of his dealing very freely and frequently in scoffs and jeers, which he poured out very liberally and plentifully, and seemingly with as much delight as a man drinks water when thirsty; see Job 11:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? - A similar image occurs in Job 15:16. The idea is, that he was full of reproachful speeches respecting God; of the language of irreverence and rebellion. He indulged in it as freely as a man drinks water; gathers up and imbibes all the language of reproach that he can find, and indulges in it as if it were perfectly harmless.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 34:7. Drinketh up scorning like water? — This is a repetition of the charge made against Job by Eliphaz, Job 15:16. It is a proverbial expression, and seems to be formed, as a metaphor, from a camel drinking, who takes in a large draught of water, even the most turbid, on its setting out on a journey in a caravan, that it may serve it for a long time. Job deals largely in scorning; he fills his heart with it.
