Job 6:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵But my brothers have acted treacherously like a cascading river,
    like torrential rivers that overflow.
¹⁶Filled with waters made cold^[a] by ice,
    they are where the snow goes to hide.
¹⁷But then the snow melts, and they disappear;
    when warmed, they evaporate from their stream beds.^[b]

New International Version

¹⁵But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams,^(A)
    as the streams that overflow
¹⁶when darkened by thawing ice
    and swollen with melting snow,^(B)
¹⁷but that stop flowing in the dry season,
    and in the heat^(C) vanish from their channels.
