Job 6:19

The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.

Job 6:19 · BSB

Job 6:19 in context

The verses around it, from Job 6.

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.

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.

22 Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;

23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
