6. Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7. The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8. Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9. Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
