Job 6:15-20 ▼

15 My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflow

16 and become darkened because of ice, and the snow melts into them.

17 The wadis evaporate in warm weather; they disappear from their channels in hot weather.

18 Caravans turn away from their routes, go up into the desert, and perish.

19 The caravans of Tema look for these streams. The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.

20 They are ashamed because they had been confident of finding water. When they arrive there, they are disappointed.
