Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 6:6

6. Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without Salt ? or is there any tast in the white of an Egg ?

Can, or do men use to eat unsavoury meats with delight, or without complaint? This is either 1. a reflection upon Eliphaz his discourse as unsavoury, which could not give him any conviction or satisfaction. But his censure of Eliphaz his speech begins not till v. 14. and then it proceeds: Or rather 2. a justification of Iob'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 compleated, and th[illegible: 1+ letters]s general Proposition is accommodated to Iob's condition.

Heb. in the white of a yolk, i. e. which encompasseth the yolk of an Egg.
