In context
3And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: But, as it seems, my words are vain.
4For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, Whose violence drinks up my blood: Whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.

6Shall bread be eaten without salt? Or again, is there taste in empty words?
7For my wrath cannot cease; For I perceive my food as the smell of a lion to be loathsome.
