Analysis of Job 15:16

How much more abominable and filthy is man, 
which drinketh iniquity like water?
Job 15:16
 
"How much more abominable and filthy is man -  
How much less would he put confidence in man, who is filthy and
abominable in his natures and profligate in his practice, as he drinks down iniquity like water? 
A man who is under the power of sinful propensities commits sin as greedily as the thirsty man or camel drinks down water. 
--He thinks he can never have enough. 
This is a finished character of a Bad man; he hungers and thirsts after Sin: on the contrary, the Good man hungers and thirsts after Righteousness."
Adam Clarke
