Job 6:5 Context
3For now it would be heauier then the sand of the sea, therefore my words are swallowed vp. 4For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee. 5Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe ouer his fodder? 6Can that which is vnsauery, bee eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge? 7The things that my soule refused to touch, are as my sorrowfull meat.

Wesley's Notes for Job 6:5
6:5 Doth, &c. - Even the brute beasts, when they have convenient food, are quiet and contented. So it is no wonder that you complain not, who live in ease and prosperity, any more than I did, when I wanted nothing.
