Job 6:7

Read in context

Job 6:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?

6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?

7 My soul refuses to touch them; they are loathsome food to me.

8 If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:

9 that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!
