Job 6:15 — Meaning and Application

{Is} not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?

To him that is afflicted pity {should be shewed} from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. {is afflicted: Heb. melteth}

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, {and} as the stream of brooks they pass away;

Which are blackish by reason of the ice, {and} wherein the snow is hid:

What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. {vanish: Heb. are cut off} {when...: Heb. in the heat thereof} {consumed: Heb. extinguished}
