Job 6:15-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ But my ·brothers [^CJob’s three friends] cannot be counted on.
    They are like ·streams that do not always flow [^Lwadis; ^Cseasonal riverbeds that are dry in the summer],
    streams that sometimes run over.
¹⁶ They are made dark by melting ice
    and rise with melting snow.
¹⁷ But they ·stop flowing [^Lare silent] in the dry season;
    they disappear when it is hot.
¹⁸ ·Travelers [or Caravans] turn away from their paths
    and go into the desert and die.
¹⁹ The groups of travelers from Tema [^Can oasis in north Arabia] look for water,
    and the traders of Sheba [^Cin south Arabia; both places were well known for their trade through the desert] look for it hopefully.
²⁰ They are ·upset [^Lashamed] because they had been sure;
    when they arrive, they are ·disappointed [dismayed].
