Job 6:17 Context
15My brethren haue delt deceitfully as a brooke, & as the streame of brookes they passe away, 16Which are blackish by reason of the yce, and wherein the snow is hid: 17What time they waxe warme, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 18The pathes of their way are turned aside; they goe to nothing, and perish. 19The troupes of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
