2. It's impossible to weighmy misery and grief!

3. They outweigh the sandalong the beach,and that's why I have spokenwithout thinking first.

4. The fearsome arrowsof God All-Powerfulhave filled my soulwith their poison.

5. Do oxen and wild donkeyscry out in distressunless they are hungry?

6. What is food without salt?What is more tastelessthan the white of an egg?

7. That's how my food tastes,and my appetite is gone.
