The arrows of God All-Powerful are in me.
    My spirit drinks in their poison.
    God’s terrors are gathered against me.
A wild donkey does not bray when it has grass to eat.
    An ox is quiet when it has feed.
Tasteless food is not eaten without salt.
    There is no flavor in the white part of an egg.
