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?
7 My soul refuses to touch them;
They
are as loathsome food to me.
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
That God would grant
me the thing that I long for!
9 That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and
acut me off!
