Job 6:14-23
Legacy Standard Bible
14 “For the (A)despairing man lovingkindness should be from his friend;
But he (B)forsakes the [a]fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers have (C)betrayed me like a [b]wadi,
Like the torrents of [c]wadis which pass away,
16 Which grow dark because of ice
And upon which the snow hides itself.
17 When (D)they become waterless, they [d]are silent;
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The [e]paths of their course wind along;
They go up into a formless place and perish.
19 The caravans of (E)Tema looked;
The travelers of (F)Sheba hoped for them.
20 They (G)were ashamed for they had trusted;
They came there and were humiliated.
21 Indeed, you have now become such;
(H)You see a terror and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Give me something,’
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’
23 Or, ‘Give me escape from the hand of the adversary,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless men’?
Job 6:14-23
American Standard Version
14 To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend;
[a]Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,
As the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 Which are black by reason of the ice,
And wherein the snow hideth itself:
17 What time they [b]wax warm, they vanish;
When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 [c]The caravans that travel by the way of them turn aside;
They go up into the waste, and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema looked,
The companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 They were put to shame because they had hoped;
They came thither, and were confounded.
21 For now ye [d]are nothing;
Ye see a terror, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Give unto me?
Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?
23 Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand?
Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
