5 Don’t I have a right to complain?Don’t wild donkeys bray when they find no grass,and oxen bellow when they have no food?
6 Don’t people complain about unsalted food?Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg?
7 My appetite disappears when I look at it;I gag at the thought of eating it!
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,that God would grant my desire.
9 I wish he would crush me.I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.
10 At least I can take comfort in this:Despite the pain,I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 But I don’t have the strength to endure.I have nothing to live for.
