Job 6:5
_ _ Neither wild animals, as the wild ass, nor tame, as the ox, are dissatisfied when well-supplied with food. The braying of the one and the lowing of the other prove distress and want of palatable food. So, Job argues, if he complains, it is not without cause; namely, his pains, which are, as it were, disgusting food, which God feeds him with (end of Job 6:7). But he should have remembered a rational being should evince a better spirit than the brute. |
Job 6:5
Doth, &c. — Even the brute beasts, when they have convenient food, are quiet and contented. So it is no wonder that you complain not, who live in ease and prosperity, any more than I did, when I wanted nothing. |
Job 6:5
Doth the (d) wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
(d) Do you think that I cry without cause, seeing the brute beasts do not complain when they have what they want. |
