Job 6:6 BBE

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.

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

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

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

⁸  If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire!
