'Die' in the Bible

Therefore now, O Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
