Commentary on Job 6:5 (Summary)

Job 6:5 (ESV)

5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?

Job’s friends have forgotten to ask one important question: why had Job complained so? After all, he would not have complained for no reason, just as a donkey would not bray if it had plenty of food.
