14 “A despairing man should be shown kindness from his friend,or he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers have acted deceitfully like a riverbed,like the streams of the riverbeds that run dry;
16 which are dark because of the ice,and into which the snow disappears.
17 In time they are scorched; they vanish!When it is hot, they disappear from their place.
18 The caravans of their way turn aside;they go nowhere, and they perish.
19 The caravans of Tema looked,the travelers of Sheba hoped for them.
20 They were disappointed because they were confident;they arrived there and were dismayed.
