Verse 7 is found in chapter 6 of Job. Job responds that his pain weighs more than the sand of the sea and explains that his words must be understood in light of the magnitude of his suffering. He describes his anguish through images of divine arrows and unbearable food. He is not presenting an organized doctrinal rebellion, but trying to communicate an experience his friends have underestimated.

Was meine Seele widerte anzurühren, das ist meine Speise, mir zum Ekel.
Las cosas que mi alma no quería tocar, Por los dolores son mi comida.
Mi alma se niega a tocar esas cosas; son para mí un alimento repugnante.
Ce que je voudrais ne pas toucher, C'est là ma nourriture, si dégoûtante soit-elle!
Le cose che l’anima mia avrebbe ricusate pur di toccare Sono ora i miei dolorosi cibi
A minha alma recusa tocá-las, pois são para mim como comida repugnante.
那些可厭的食物, 我心不肯挨近。
