15My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;

16Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself:

17In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

18The caravans that travel beside them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.

19The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.

20They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came there, and were confounded.
