Job Answers Eliphaz
Then Job answered and said, 2 “Oh that my vexation were actually weighed
And laid in the balances together with my destruction!
3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;
Therefore my words have been rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,
Their poison my spirit drinks;
The horrors of God are arranged against me.
5 Does the wild donkey bray over his grass,
Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 Can something tasteless be eaten without salt,
Or is there any taste in the slime of a yolk?
7 My soul refuses to touch them;
They are like loathsome food to me.
