5 A donkey is content when eating grass,and a cow is quiet when eating hay.
6 But who can eat tasteless, unsalted food?What flavour is there in the white of an egg?
7 I have no appetite for food like that,and everything I eat makes me sick.
8 Why won't God give me what I ask?Why won't he answer my prayer?
9 If only he would go ahead and kill me!
10 If I knew he would, I would leap for joy,no matter how great my pain.I know that God is holy;I have never opposed what he commands.
11 What strength have I got to keep on living?Why go on living when I have no hope?
