Job 6:4-6
The Voice
4 The arrows of the Highest One[a] have sunk deeply into me;
my spirit drinks their poison.
The terrors of God assemble like soldiers marching against me.
5 Does a wild donkey bray in hunger in a field of fresh grass?
Does an ox low with pangs over plenty of feed?
6 If I were served a tasteless mush,
how could I eat it without at least adding salt?
Or is there even any sense of taste in the slime of a plant?[b]
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)
