18. Caravans get lost looking for water;they wander and die in the desert.
19. Caravans from Sheba and Tema search,
20. but their hope dies beside dry streams.
21. You are like those streams to me,you see my fate and draw back in fear.
22. Have I asked you to give me a giftor to bribe someone on my behalf
23. or to save me from some enemy or tyrant?
