Job 6:7
_ _ To “touch” is contrasted with “meat.” “My taste refused even to touch it, and yet am I fed with such meat of sickness.” The second clause literally, is, “Such is like the sickness of my food.” The natural taste abhors even to touch insipid food, and such forms my nourishment. For my sickness is like such nauseous food [Umbreit]. (Psalms 42:3; Psalms 80:5; Psalms 102:9). No wonder, then, I complain. |
