'Ointment' in the Bible

“He makes the depths boil like a pot;He makes the sea like a jar of ointment.

A good name is better than a good ointment,And the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.

I did not eat any tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed.
