¹¹ `As' the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;

⁵ And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.

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

¹⁶ Which are black by reason of the ice, `And' wherein the snow hideth itself:

¹⁷ What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

¹⁸ The caravans `that travel' by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.

¹⁸ Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful `brook', as waters that fail?
