American Standard Version
"My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away; "
— Job 6:15, American Standard Version
“My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;”
“My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;”
“My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream, and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams that flow away.”
“My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys.”
“My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:”
“My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;”
Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:
What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
The caravansthat travelby the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.
