Holy Scripture
Job 6:7
A church father on this verse
“Sores and pus were not enough. A new affliction is added. Job's disease has destroyed his entire sensitivity to the extent that even his nourishment has become a torture for him. Indeed, Job says, the nauseating smell of gangrene has deprived him of the capability to distinguish sensations. Is there anything more pain…”

In context
5What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? Or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has fodder?
6Shall bread be eaten without salt? Or again, is there taste in empty words?
— Job 6:7 —
8For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, And the Lord would grant my hope!
9Let the Lord begin and wound me, But let him not utterly destroy me.
