traitorous as a stream, treacherous as a stream

traitorous as a stream, treacherous as a stream

In literary usage: possessing a treacherous character. Disappointing (like a wadi that dries up and has no water in the summer).

("My brothers have betrayed me like a stream, like the channels of streams they pass away" – Job 6:15; and also: "You, alone like a shadow/ you, traitorous as a stream/ you will go out to all, to every passerby" – Yonatan Ratosh, 'Al Chet')
