Job 6:1-7

1 And Job made answer and said,

1 Then Job replied:

2 If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!

2 “If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!

3 For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.

3 It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been impetuous.

4 For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.

4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors are marshaled against me.

5 Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?

5 Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass, or an ox bellow when it has fodder?

6 Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?

6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow ?

7 My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.

7 I refuse to touch it; such food makes me ill.
