Job 6:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 6:20
Job concludes: 'They were confounded because they had hoped: they came thither, and were ashamed.' The Hebrew 'bosh' (confounded/ashamed) and 'chapher' (ashamed/disappointed) emphasize the humiliation of misplaced hope. The caravans' confidence in the streams led to deadly disappointment. Job feels similarly about his friends—he hoped in their comfort but received accusations instead. This warns against putting ultimate hope in human counsel rather than God, who never disappoints those who hope in Him (Romans 5:5).
