Job 6:8 Context
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. 10Then should I yet haue comfort, yea I would harden my selfe in sorrow; let him not spare, for I haue not concealed the words of the holy One.
