Job 6:14 - 6:23

“For the despairing man lovingkindness should be from his friend;

But he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

My brothers have betrayed me like a wadi,

Like the torrents of wadis which pass away,

Which grow dark because of ice

And upon which the snow hides itself.

When they become waterless, they are silent;

When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

The paths of their course wind along;

They go up into a formless place and perish.

The caravans of Tema looked;

The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.

They were ashamed for they had trusted;

They came there and were humiliated.

Indeed, you have now become such;

You see a terror and are afraid.

Have I said, ‘Give me something,’

Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’

Or, ‘Give me escape from the hand of the adversary,’

Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless men’?
