Job 6:15-20

King James Version

¹⁵My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;

¹⁶Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

¹⁷What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

¹⁸The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.

¹⁹The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

²⁰They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

Job 6:15-20

New International Version

¹⁵But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,^(A)
    as the streams that overflow
¹⁶when darkened by thawing ice
    and swollen with melting snow,^(B)
¹⁷but that stop flowing in the dry season,
    and in the heat^(C) vanish from their channels.
¹⁸Caravans turn aside from their routes;
    they go off into the wasteland and perish.
¹⁹The caravans of Tema^(D) look for water,
    the traveling merchants of Sheba^(E) look in hope.
²⁰They are distressed, because they had been confident;
    they arrive there, only to be disappointed.^(F)
