Job 6:17
but ceasing in the dry season and vanishing from their channels in the heat.
BSB
ASV
What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
KJV
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
What time - In the time; or after a time. They wax warm - Gesenius renders this word (יזרבו yezorebû) when they became narrow, and this version has been adopted by Noyes. The word occurs nowhere else.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Job 24:19As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
