Job 6:6
 Job 6:6 
New International Version (© 2011)
Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow?

King James Bible
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

American Standard Version
Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

Young's Literal Translation
Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in the drivel of dreams?

Job 6:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Can that which is unsavoury - Mr. Good renders this verse as follows: Doth insipid food without a mixture of salt, yea, doth the white of the egg give forth pungency? Which he thus illustrates: "Doth that which hath nothing of seasoning, nothing of a pungent or irritable power within it, produce pungency or irritation? I too should be quiet and complain not, if I had nothing provocative or acrimonious, but, alas! the food I am doomed to partake of is the very calamity which is most acute to my soul - that which I most loathe, and which is most grievous or trying to my palate." Some render the original, Is there any dependence on the drivel of dreams? There have been a great variety of interpretations given of this verse. I could add another; but that of Mr. Good is as likely to be correct as that of any other critic.
