This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Can or do men use to eat unsavoury meats with delight, or without complaint? This is either,
1. A reflection upon Eliphaz’s discourse, as unsavoury, which could not give him any conviction or satisfaction. But his censure of Eliphaz’s speech begins not till Job_6:14, and then it proceeds. Or rather,
2. A justification of Job’s complaints (of which both the foregoing and following verses treat) by another argument. Men do commonly complain of their meat when it is but unsavoury, how much more when it is so bitter as mine is! which is implied here, and expressed in the next verse; where the sense here begun is completed, and this general proposition is accommodated to Job’s condition.
In the white of an egg, Heb. in the white of a yolk, i.e. which encompasseth the yolk of an egg.
