Job 6:16 Context
14To him that is afflicted, pitie should be shewed from his friend; But he forsaketh the feare of the Almighty. 15My brethren haue delt deceitfully as a brooke, & as the streame of brookes they passe away, 16Which are blackish by reason of the yce, and wherein the snow is hid: 17What time they waxe warme, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 18The pathes of their way are turned aside; they goe to nothing, and perish.

Wesley's Notes for Job 6:16
6:16 Which - Which in winter when the traveller neither needs nor desires it, are full of water congealed by the frost. Snow - Under which the water from snow, which formerly fell, and afterward was dissolved, lies hid. So he speaks not of those brooks which are fed by a constant spring, but of them which are filled by accidental falls of water or snow.
