Job 6:14-23

14"He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

15My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,

16which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.

17When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.

18The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish.

19The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.

20They are ashamed because they were confident; they come there and are disappointed.

21For you have now become nothing; you see my calamity and are afraid.

22Have I said, 'Make me a gift'? Or, 'From your wealth offer a bribe for me'?

23Or, 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless'?
