Job 6:14-21

English Standard Version

¹⁴ “He who ^(A)withholds^[a] kindness from a ^(B)friend
    forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
¹⁵ My ^(C)brothers are ^(D)treacherous as a torrent-bed,
    as torrential ^(E)streams that pass away,
¹⁶ which are dark with ice,
    and where the snow hides itself.
¹⁷ When they melt, they disappear;
    when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
¹⁸ The caravans turn aside from their course;
    they go up into ^(F)the waste and perish.
¹⁹ The caravans of ^(G)Tema look,
    the travelers of ^(H)Sheba hope.
²⁰ They are ^(I)ashamed because they were confident;
    they come there and are ^(J)disappointed.
²¹ For you have now become nothing;
    you see my calamity and are afraid.
