To him that is afflicted pity {should be shewed} from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. {is afflicted: Heb. melteth}

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, {and} as the stream of brooks they pass away;

What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. {vanish: Heb. are cut off} {when...: Heb. in the heat thereof} {consumed: Heb. extinguished}

The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
