Job 6:14-23
14“For the adespairing man lovingkindness should be from his friend;But he bforsakes the 1fear of the Almighty.15“My brothers have abetrayed me like a 1wadi,Like the torrents of 2wadis which pass away,16Which grow dark because of iceAnd upon which the snow hides itself.17“When athey become waterless, they 1are silent;When it is hot, they vanish from their place.18“The 1paths of their course wind along;They go up into a formless place and perish.19“The caravans of aTema looked;The travelers of bSheba hoped for them.20“They awere ashamed for they had trusted;They came there and were humiliated.21“Indeed, you have now become such;aYou see a terror and are afraid.22“Have I said, ‘Give me something,’Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’23Or, ‘Give me escape from the hand of the adversary,’Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless men’?
