Job 6:7 in context

Job 6:4–10

4

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
Selected verse

My soul refuses to touch them.

They are as loathsome food to me.

8

“Oh that I might have my request,

that God would grant the thing that I long for,

9

even that it would please God to crush me;

that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

10

Let it still be my consolation,

yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare,

that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
