Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. Thou hast not given water ] It was esteemed a great virtue in the East to furnish thirsty travelers 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 travelers who are parched with thirst.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-14 - Eliphaz brought heavy charges against Job, without reason for his accusations, except that Job was visited as he supposed God alway visited every wicked man. He charges him with oppression, and that he did harm with his wealth and power in the time of his prosperity.
