Job 6:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 6:4

2 “Oh, that my grief were fully weighed,
And my calamity laid with it on the scales!

3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea—
Therefore my words have been rash.

4 ^aFor the arrows of the Almighty are within me;
My spirit drinks in their poison;
^bThe terrors of God are arrayed ^cagainst me.

5 Does the ^awild donkey bray when it has grass,
Or does the ox low over its fodder?

6 Can flavorless food be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
