Job 6:14-23
New American Standard Bible
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 International Version
Job 6:14-23
New International Version
14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend(A)
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.(B)
15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,(C)
as the streams that overflow
16 when darkened by thawing ice
and swollen with melting snow,(D)
17 but that stop flowing in the dry season,
and in the heat(E) vanish from their channels.
18 Caravans turn aside from their routes;
they go off into the wasteland and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema(F) look for water,
the traveling merchants of Sheba(G) look in hope.
20 They are distressed, because they had been confident;
they arrive there, only to be disappointed.(H)
21 Now you too have proved to be of no help;
you see something dreadful and are afraid.(I)
22 Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf,
pay a ransom(J) for me from your wealth,(K)
23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy,
rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?(L)
