Job 6:14-23

The Unreliability of His Friends

Job 6:14-23
14
A despairing man should have the kindness of his friend, even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15
But my brothers are as faithless as wadis, as seasonal streams that overflow,
16

17

18
Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.
20
They are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment.
21

22
Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;
23
deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
