4 The arrows of God All-Powerful are in me.My spirit drinks in their poison.God’s terrors are gathered against me.
5 A wild donkey does not bray when it has grass to eat.An ox is quiet when it has feed.
6 Tasteless food is not eaten without salt.There is no flavor in the white part of an egg.
7 I refuse to touch it.Such food makes me sick.
8 “How I wish I might have what I ask for.How I wish God would give me what I hope for.
9 I wish God would be willing to crush meand reach out his hand to destroy me.
10 Then I would have this comfort.I would be glad even in this unending pain.I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.
