Bible References

Wherefore

“Would that God were willing to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pains.
Why did I ever come forth from the womb
To look on trouble and sorrow,
So that my days have been spent in shame?

Light

“Or like a miscarriage which is discarded, I would not be,
As infants that never saw light.
‘He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life shall see the light.’

The bitter

So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pains.
She, greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.
When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, “Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to him whose life is bitter.

General references

So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living.
