Job 6:7 Context
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. 8O that I might haue my request! and that God would graunt mee the thing that I long for! 9Euen that it would please God to destroy mee, that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
