自行於曠野一日之程、至一所、坐於羅騰羅騰又作利騰松類樹下、且願死、曰、主歟、已矣、求主取我生命、蓋我不勝於我列祖、

while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die.“ I have had enough, Lord,” he said.“ Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”

Then he traveled for one day into the desert. He came to a small bush. He sat down under it. He prayed that he would die.“ Lord, I’ve had enough,” he said.“ Take my life. I’m no better than my people of long ago.”

But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying,“ It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”

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.

If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!”

And as the sun grew hot, God arranged for a scorching east wind to blow on Jonah. The sun beat down on his head until he grew faint and wished to die.“ Death is certainly better than living like this!” he exclaimed.

Just kill me now, Lord! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.”

Yet I curse the day I was born! May no one celebrate the day of my birth.I curse the messenger who told my father,“ Good news— you have a son!”Let him be destroyed like the cities of old that the Lord overthrew without mercy. Terrify him all day long with battle shouts,because he did not kill me at birth. Oh, that I had died in my mother’s womb, that her body had been my grave!Why was I ever born? My entire life has been filled with trouble, sorrow, and shame.

Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.

But go over to Calneh and see what happened there. Then go to the great city of Hamath and down to the Philistine city of Gath. You are no better than they were, and look at how they were destroyed.

For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better.I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.

As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven.

Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there.

Then he rode after the man of God and found him sitting under a great tree. The old prophet asked him,“ Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”“ Yes, I am,” he replied.

When the water was gone, she put the boy in the shade of a bush.Then she went and sat down by herself about a hundred yards away.“ I don’t want to watch the boy die,” she said, as she burst into tears.

“ Oh, why give light to those in misery, and life to those who are bitter?They long for death, and it won’t come. They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure.They’re filled with joy when they finally die, and rejoice when they find the grave.

Are you any better than the city of Thebes, situated on the Nile River, surrounded by water? She was protected by the river on all sides, walled in by water.

Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?
