Job 6:15-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
15
My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi,
Like the torrents of wadis which drain away,
16
Which are darkened because of ice,
And
into which the snow melts.
17
When they dry up, they vanish;
When it is hot, they disappear from their place.
18
The paths of their course wind along,
They go up into wasteland and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema looked,
The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.
20
They were put to shame, for they had trusted,
They came there and were humiliated.
21
Indeed, you have now become such,
You see terrors and are afraid.
22
Have I said, ‘Give me
something,
’
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’
23
Or, ‘Save me from the hand of the enemy,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
24
'Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have done wrong.
King James Version
Chapter 6
15
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16
Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18
The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19
The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20
They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
21
For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
22
Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23
Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
15
My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi,
as seasonal streams that overflow
16
and become darkened because of ice,
and the snow melts into them.
17
The wadis evaporate in warm weather;
they disappear from their channels in hot weather.
18
Caravans turn away from their routes,
go up into the desert, and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema look for these streams.
The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.
20
They are ashamed because they had been confident of finding water.
When they arrive there, they are disappointed.
21
So this is what you have now become to me.
When you see something dreadful, you are afraid.
22
Have I ever said: "Give me something"
or "Pay a bribe for me from your wealth"
23
or "Deliver me from the enemy’s hand"
or "Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless"?
24
Teach me, and I will be silent.
Help me understand what I did wrong.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
15
My brothers, you have proved as unreliable as a seasonal brook
that overflows its banks in the spring
16
when it is swollen with ice and melting snow.
17
But when the hot weather arrives, the water disappears.
The brook vanishes in the heat.
18
The caravans turn aside to be refreshed,
but there is nothing to drink, so they die.
19
The caravans from Tema search for this water;
the travelers from Sheba hope to find it.
20
They count on it but are disappointed.
When they arrive, their hopes are dashed.
21
You, too, have given no help.
You have seen my calamity, and you are afraid.
22
But why? Have I ever asked you for a gift?
Have I begged for anything of yours for myself?
23
Have I asked you to rescue me from my enemies,
or to save me from ruthless people?
24
Teach me, and I will keep quiet.
Show me what I have done wrong.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
15
My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential streams that pass away,
16
which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17
When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18
The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into the waste and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema look,
the travelers of Sheba hope.
20
They are ashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are disappointed.
21
For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22
Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23
Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary 's hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless’?
24
"Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
New International Version
Chapter 6
15
But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,
as the streams that overflow
16
when darkened by thawing ice
and swollen with melting snow,
17
but that stop flowing in the dry season,
and in the heat vanish from their channels.
18
Caravans turn aside from their routes;
they go off into the wasteland and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema look for water,
the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.
20
They are distressed, because they had been confident;
they arrive there, only to be disappointed.
21
Now you too have proved to be of no help;
you see something dreadful and are afraid.
22
Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf,
pay a ransom for me from your wealth,
23
deliver me from the hand of the enemy,
rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?
24
"Teach me, and I will be quiet;
show me where I have been wrong.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
15
My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook,
Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,
16
Which are dark because of the ice,
And
into which the snow vanishes.
17
When it is warm, they cease to flow;
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18
The paths of their way turn aside,
They go nowhere and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema look,
The travelers of Sheba hope for them.
20
They are disappointed because they were confident;
They come there and are confused.
21
For now you are nothing,
You see terror and are afraid.
22
Did I ever say, ‘Bring
something
to me’?
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
23
Or, ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?
24
“Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
