Job 6:1-7
Authorized (King James) Version
6 But Job answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief were throughly 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 whereof drinketh up my spirit:
the terrors of God do 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 unsavoury 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 sorrowful meat.
Job 6:1-7
American Standard Version
6 Then Job answered and said,
2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed,
And all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas:
Therefore have my words been rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,
The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up:
The terrors of God do 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 hath no savor be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in [a]the white of an egg?
7 [b]My soul refuseth to touch them;
They are as loathsome food to me.
