King James Version
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

and swollen with melting snow,(D)

they arrive there, only to be disappointed.(H)

3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
