Job 6:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible
13 Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?

15 But my brothers are as faithless as wadis, as seasonal streams that overflow,
16 darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,
17 but ceasing in the dry season and vanishing from their channels in the heat.
