“Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? when he: Heb. at grass?”
Job 6:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 6:5
Job asks rhetorical questions: 'Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?' Animals only cry out when they lack necessities. Job's point: his complaints aren't groundless grumbling but legitimate response to genuine deprivation. The Hebrew 'na'aq' (bray) and 'ga'ah' (low) are animal cries of distress. Job implies his friends treat him like an animal complaining over nothing when in fact he's been stripped of everything that makes life bearable.
