For the arrows of the Almighty are within me.
My spirit drinks up their poison.
The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

Job 6:4 in context
Job 6:1–7

2
“Oh that my anguish were weighed,
and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas,
therefore my words have been rash.
4
Selected verse
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me.
My spirit drinks up their poison.
The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5
Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass?
Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6
Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7
My soul refuses to touch them.
They are as loathsome food to me.
