When the sun arose, God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said,“ It is better for me to die than to live.”

so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying,“ A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent.

So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
