6 Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt,or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?
7 My appetite refuses to touch them;they are as food that is loathsome to me.
8 “Oh that I might have my request,and that God would fulfill my hope,
9 that it would please God to crush me,that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my comfort;I would even exult in pain unsparing,for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
