Job 6:1-9

1 But Job answered and said:
2 "Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words are swallowed up.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; the poison thereof drinketh up my spirit; the terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my distressing meat.
8 "Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for:
9 even that it would please God to destroy me, that He would let loose His hand and cut me off!
