Giobbe 6:20

20 Ma si vergognano di esservisi fidati; Essendo giunti fin là, sono confusi.

Giobbe 6:20 Meaning and Commentary

Job 6:20

And they were confounded because they had hoped
When they came to the places where they hoped to find water, finding none were ashamed of their vain hope, and reflected upon themselves for being so foolish as to raise their expectations upon such a groundless surmise:

they came thither, and were ashamed;
which is the same thing expressed in different words; and aptly enough describes Job's disappointment in not meeting with that relief and comfort he expected from his friends, to whom he makes application of all this in the following words.

Giobbe 6:20 In-Context

18 I sentieri del corso loro si contorcono, Essi si riducono a nulla, e si perdono.

19 Le schiere de’ viandanti di Tema li riguardavano, Le carovane di Seba ne aveano presa speranza;

20 Ma si vergognano di esservisi fidati; Essendo giunti fin là, sono confusi.

21 Perciocchè ora voi siete venuti a niente; Avete veduta la ruina, ed avete avuta paura.

22 Vi ho io detto: Datemi, E fate presenti delle vostre facoltà per me?
