    even if he stops fearing the Almighty [or Those who withhold loyalty from their friend do not fear the Almighty/Shaddai; ^CJob here criticizes his friends’ attitude toward him].’
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.
