Job 6:16

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,

darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,

17 but ceasing in the dry season and vanishing from their channels in the heat.

18 Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
