Job 6:5-7
New Living Translation

5 Don’t I have a right to complain?
    Don’t wild donkeys bray when they find no grass,
    and oxen bellow when they have no food?
6 Don’t people complain about unsalted food?
    Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg?[a]
7 My appetite disappears when I look at it;
    I gag at the thought of eating it!
