Translation note
“Like it”: like the dry stream. The Hebrew text has two forms here: the one that is read, “to it,” and the written one, “nothing” (“you have become nothing”). In Hebrew “you see” and “you are afraid” sound almost the same.
The context
20They were ashamed because they had trusted; they came there and were abashed.
