Job 6:19 Context
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. 20They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. 21For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting downe, and are afraid.

Wesley's Notes for Job 6:19
6:19 Tema - This place and Sheba were both parts of the hot and dry country of Arabia, in which waters were very scarce, and therefore precious and desirable, especially to travellers. Companies - Men did not there travel singly, as we do, but in companies for their security against wild beasts and robbers.
