Thematic Bible

But he himself traveled a day’s journey into the wilderness, and he came and sat down under a juniper tree and asked [God] that he might die. He said, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”


Who wait for death, but it does not come,
And dig (search) for death more [diligently] than for hidden treasures,


So that I would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pain.

And death will be chosen rather than life by all the remnant of those who remain of this evil family (nation), who remain in all the places to which I have driven them,” says the Lord of hosts.
