Job 6:7-10

Expanded Bible

⁷I refuse to touch it;
such food makes me sick [^Ca word connected to menstruation and therefore ritual uncleanness; Lev. 15:19–30].

⁸“How I wish that I might have what I ask for
    and that God would give me what I hope for.
⁹How I wish God would crush me
    and reach out his hand to ·destroy me [cut me off].
¹⁰Then I would have this ·comfort [consolation]
    and be glad even in this unending pain,
because I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.
