Job 6:8

⁶ Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?

⁷ My soul refuses to touch them; they are loathsome food to me.

If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:

⁹ that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!

¹⁰ It still brings me comfort, and joy through unrelenting pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
