Bible verse
But my brothers are as faithless as wadis, as seasonal streams that overflow,
Job 6:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 6.
11 What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength like that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
13 Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?
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 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.
19 The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.
