Job 6:15
_ _ Those whom I regarded as “my brethren,” from whom I looked for faithfulness in my adversity, have disappointed me, as the streams failing from drought — wadies of Arabia, filled in the winter, but dry in the summer, which disappoint the caravans expecting to find water there. The fullness and noise of these temporary streams answer to the past large and loud professions of my friends; their dryness in summer, to the failure of the friendship when needed. The Arab proverb says of a treacherous friend, “I trust not in thy torrent” (Isaiah 58:11, Margin).
_ _ stream of brooks — rather, “the brook in the ravines which passes away.” It has no perpetual spring of water to renew it (unlike “the fountain of living waters,” Jeremiah 2:13; Isaiah 33:16, at the end); and thus it passes away as rapidly as it arose. |
Job 6:15
Brethren — Friends; for though Eliphaz only had spoken, the other two shewed their approbation of his discourse. Deceitfully — Adding to the afflictions which they said they came to remove. And it is no new thing, for even brethren to deal deceitfully. It is therefore our wisdom to cease from man. We cannot expect too little from the creature, or too much from the creator. |
Job 6:15
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a (k) brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;
(k) He compares friends who do not comfort us in our misery to a brook which in summer when we need water is dry, in winter is hard frozen and in the time of rain when we have no need overflows with water. |
