Job 6:14-20
“ He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish.The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.They are ashamed because they were confident; they come there and are disappointed.

Isaiah 30:1-3
