Job 6:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me, the venom whereof doth drink up my spirit, and the terrors of God [a]fight against me.
5 Doth the [b]wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox when he hath fodder?
6 That which is [c]unsavory, shall it be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
