Job 6:11-21

11 What strength do I have to keep on living? Why go on living when I have no hope?

11 “What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient?

12 Am I made of stone? Is my body bronze?

12 Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?

13 I have no strength left to save myself; there is nowhere I can turn for help.

13 Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?

14 In trouble like this I need loyal friends - whether I've forsaken God or not.

14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

15 But you, my friends, you deceive me like streams that go dry when no rain comes.

15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow

16 The streams are choked with snow and ice,

16 when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow,

17 but in the heat they disappear, and the stream beds lie bare and dry.

17 but that stop flowing in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.

18 Caravans get lost looking for water; they wander and die in the desert.

18 Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go off into the wasteland and perish.

19 Caravans from Sheba and Tema search,

19 The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.

20 but their hope dies beside dry streams.

20 They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed.

21 You are like those streams to me, you see my fate and draw back in fear.

21 Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.
