Job 6:6 Context
4For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee. 5Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe ouer his fodder? 6Can that which is vnsauery, bee eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge? 7The things that my soule refused to touch, are as my sorrowfull meat. 8O that I might haue my request! and that God would graunt mee the thing that I long for!
