Job 6:16

Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

Blackish - literally, Go as a mourner in black clothing (Psalms 35:14, end). A vivid and poetic image to picture the stream, turbid and black with melted ice and snow descending from the mountains into the valley. In the next clause the snow dissolved is in the poet's view, hidden in the flood (Umbreit).
