Job 6:14-23
New American Standard Bible
14 “For the (A)despairing man there should be kindness from his friend;
So that he does not (B)abandon the [a]fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers have acted (C)deceitfully like a [b]wadi,
Like the torrents of [c]wadis which drain away,
16 Which are darkened because of ice,
And into which the snow [d]melts.
17 When (D)they dry up, they vanish;
When it is hot, they disappear from their place.
18 The [e]paths of their course wind along,
They go up into wasteland and perish.
19 The caravans of (E)Tema looked,
The travelers of (F)Sheba hoped for them.
20 They (G)were put to shame, for they had trusted,
They came there and were humiliated.
21 Indeed, you have now become such,
(H)You see terrors and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Give me something,’
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’
23 Or, ‘Save me from the hand of the enemy,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
Job 6:14-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 “For the (A)despairing man there should be kindness from his friend;
So that he does not (B)forsake the [a]fear of the Almighty.
15 “My brothers have acted (C)deceitfully like a [b]wadi,
Like the torrents of [c]wadis which vanish,
16 Which are turbid because of ice
And into which the snow [d]melts.
17 “When (D)they become waterless, they [e]are silent,
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 “The [f]paths of their course wind along,
They go up into nothing and perish.
19 “The caravans of (E)Tema looked,
The travelers of (F)Sheba hoped for them.
20 “They (G)were [g]disappointed for they had trusted,
They came there and were confounded.
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, ‘Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
