Job 6:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 6:15

13 Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?

14 “To^a him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

15 ^aMy brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook,
^bLike 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 ^aTema look,
The travelers of ^bSheba hope for them.

20 They are ^adisappointed because they were confident;
They come there and are confused.

21 For now ^ayou are nothing,
You see terror and ^bare 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.
