“The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.”
Job 6:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 6:7
Job declares: 'The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.' Things he once rejected (perhaps referring to Eliphaz's accusations, or his suffering itself) have become his unavoidable 'food.' The Hebrew 'davah' (sorrowful/sickening) and 'lehem' (bread/meat) suggest being forced to consume what nauseates. Job is forced to daily digest suffering and false accusations—to live with what his soul rejects. This pictures the involuntary nature of suffering.
