5 Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, or does the ox bellow over its fodder?
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt? Is there any flavour in the juice of mallows?
7 I refuse to touch it, they are like food when I am sick.
8 Oh that I might have my desire, that Eloah would grant me what I long for!
9 That it would please Eloah to crush me, loose His hand and cut me off!
10 Then I would still have comfort, and I would rejoice in pain, though not spared, for I have not hidden the words of the Set-apart One.
11 What strength do I have, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
