But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than (these) my bones.
I loathe (my life); I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity.
