Matthew Henry Commentary Job 6:1-7

"Then Job answered and said, Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash. For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me. Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder? Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg? My soul refuseth to touch [them]; They are as loathsome food to me." — Job 6:1-7 (ASV)

Job still justifies himself in his complaints. In addition to outward troubles, the inner sense of God's wrath took away all his courage and resolution. The feeling of God's wrath is harder to bear than any outward afflictions.

What then did the Savior endure in the garden and on the cross, when He bore our sins, and His soul was made a sacrifice to divine justice for us! Whatever burden of affliction, in body or material well-being, God is pleased to lay upon us, we may well submit to it as long as He allows us to retain the use of our reason and the peace of our conscience; but if either of these is disturbed, our case is very pitiable.

Job reflects on his friends for their censures. He complains he had nothing offered for his relief but what was in itself tasteless, loathsome, and burdensome.
