“My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;”
Job 6:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 6:15
Job accuses his friends: 'My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away.' A wadi (seasonal stream) flows during rain but dries up when needed most. Job's friends seemed supportive initially (2:11-13) but now, when he most needs comfort, they've dried up—offering only accusations. The Hebrew 'bagad' (dealt deceitfully/treacherously) is strong language, suggesting betrayal. This warns against fair-weather friendship that fails in crisis.
