For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas—no wonder my words have been rash.
Job 6:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 6.
1 Then Job replied:
2 “If only my grief could be weighed and placed with my calamity on the scales.
3 For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas—no wonder my words have been rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?
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.
