Job 6:17-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
17When they dry up, they vanish; When it is hot, they disappear from their place. 18The paths of their course wind along, They go up into wasteland and perish. 19The caravans of Tema looked, The travelers of Sheba hoped for them. 20They were put to shame, for they had trusted, They came there and were humiliated. 21Indeed, you have now become such, You see terrors and are afraid. 22Have I said, ‘Give me something,’ Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’ 23Or, ‘Save me from the hand of the enemy,’ Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?King James Version
Chapter 6
17What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
17The wadis evaporate in warm weather; they disappear from their channels in hot weather. 18Caravans turn away from their routes, go up into the desert, and perish. 19The caravans of Tema look for these streams. The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them. 20They are ashamed because they had been confident of finding water. When they arrive there, they are disappointed. 21So this is what you have now become to me. When you see something dreadful, you are afraid. 22Have I ever said: "Give me something" or "Pay a bribe for me from your wealth"New Living Translation
Chapter 6
17But when the hot weather arrives, the water disappears. The brook vanishes in the heat. 18The caravans turn aside to be refreshed, but there is nothing to drink, so they die. 19The caravans from Tema search for this water; the travelers from Sheba hope to find it. 20They count on it but are disappointed. When they arrive, their hopes are dashed. 21You, too, have given no help. You have seen my calamity, and you are afraid. 22But why? Have I ever asked you for a gift? Have I begged for anything of yours for myself? 23Have I asked you to rescue me from my enemies, or to save me from ruthless people?English Standard Version
Chapter 6
17When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place. 18The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish. 19The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope. 20They are ashamed because they were confident; they come there and are disappointed. 21For you have now become nothing; you see my calamity and are afraid. 22Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’? Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’? 23Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary 's hand’? Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless’?New International Version
Chapter 6
17but that stop flowing in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels. 18Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go off into the wasteland and perish. 19The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope. 20They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed. 21Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid. 22Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth,New King James Version
