New Testament

Job 6:14-24 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. “He who withholds kindness from a friendforsakes the fear of the Almighty.

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.
