Job’s Second Speech: A Response to Eliphaz
1
Then Job answered and said,
2
"If only my vexation could be well weighed, and my calamity could be lifted up together [with it] in [the] balances,
3
for then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words have been rash,
4
for the arrows of Shaddai [are] in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5
Does [the] wild ass bray over grass, or [the] ox bellow over its fodder?
6
Can tasteless [food] be eaten without salt, or is there taste in the white of a marshmallow plant?
7
{I refused} to touch [them]; they [are] like {food that will make me ill}.
