Job notes that the caravans turn aside from their courses and go into the wasteland, only to perish, suggesting that those who depend upon such unreliable water sources find themselves led astray and destroyed. The image of the caravan straying from its path and perishing in the desert represents the danger of depending upon deceptive sources of support. Job implies that depending upon his friends' counsel will lead him into further error.
