Job 22:7

22:7 You gave the weary ¹  no water to drink

and from the hungry you withheld food.

Job 28:5

28:5 The earth, from which food comes,

is overturned below as though by fire; ² 

[22:7]  ¹ tn The term עָיֵף (’ayef) can be translated “weary,” “faint,” “exhausted,” or “tired.” Here it may refer to the fainting because of thirst – that would make a good parallel to the second part.

[28:5]  ² sn The verse has been properly understood, on the whole, as comparing the earth above and all its produce with the upheaval down below.
