Commentary on Job 6:15

Theological / Devotional

My brethren. Job compares his friends to a stream which is swollen and turbulent in winter, when its waters are not so sorely needed, but which dries up and disappears in the heat of summer. These streams, known as wadis, are common in the Eastern countries. The fullness, strength, and noise of these temporary streams in winter are compared to the attitude of Job’s friends toward him in the days of his prosperity. The drying up of the waters at the approach of summer is compared to the failure of these friends in time of affliction.
