"My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me."
— Job 6:7, World English Bible
“The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.”
“My soul refuseth to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me. ”
“I have refused to touch such things; they are like loathsome food to me.”
“The things which before my soul would not touch, now, through anguish, are my meats.”
“My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.”
“The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.”
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
"Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
