Job 6:19

ShebaTema
Waiting on God

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.

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 For now you are of no help; you see terror, and you are afraid.
