Job 6:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 God All-Powerful has shot me with his arrows.
My spirit feels their poison!
God’s terrible weapons are lined up against me.
5 Even a wild donkey does not complain when it has grass to eat.
And a cow is quiet when it has food.
6 Food without salt does not taste good,
and the white of an egg has no taste.
Job 6:4-6
New International Version
4 The arrows(A) of the Almighty(B) are in me,(C)
my spirit drinks(D) in their poison;(E)
God’s terrors(F) are marshaled against me.(G)
5 Does a wild donkey(H) bray(I) when it has grass,
or an ox bellow when it has fodder?(J)
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt,
or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow[a]?(K)
