while he went a day’s journey into the desert. He went and sat down under a shrub and asked the LORD to take his life:“ I’ve had enough! Now, O LORD, take my life. After all, I’m no better than my ancestors.”

I am blameless. I do not know myself. I despise my life.

But if you are going to deal with me like this, then kill me immediately. If I have found favor in your sight then do not let me see my trouble.”

When the sun began to shine, God sent a hot east wind. So the sun beat down on Jonah’s head, and he grew faint. So he despaired of life, and said,“ I would rather die than live!”

But even if it were true that I have erred, my error remains solely my concern!

So he saves from the sword that comes from their mouth, even the poor from the hand of the powerful.Thus the poor have hope, and iniquity shuts its mouth.

I loathe it; I do not want to live forever; leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!

“ But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking– how much of it goes away?Surely now he has worn me out, you have devastated my entire household.You have seized me, and it has become a witness; my leanness has risen up against me and testifies against me.His anger has torn me and persecuted me; he has gnashed at me with his teeth; my adversary locks his eyes on me.People have opened their mouths against me, they have struck my cheek in scorn; they unite together against me.God abandons me to evil men, and throws me into the hands of wicked men.I was in peace, and he has shattered me. He has seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target;his archers surround me. Without pity he pierces my kidneys and pours out my gall on the ground.He breaks through against me, time and time again; he rushes against me like a warrior.I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and buried my horn in the dust;my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,

“ Oh, if only my grief could be weighed, and my misfortune laid on the scales too!But because it is heavier than the sand of the sea, that is why my words have been wild.For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks their poison; God’s sudden terrors are arrayed against me.

“ Why does God give light to one who is in misery, and life to those whose soul is bitter,to those who wait for death that does not come, and search for it more than for hidden treasures,who rejoice even to jubilation, and are exultant when they find the grave?Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in?

What can I say? He has decreed and acted. I will walk slowly all my years because I am overcome with grief.

Do you intend to criticize mere words, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?

“ Look, the grief I experienced was for my benefit. You delivered me from the pit of oblivion. For you removed all my sins from your sight.

In time of famine he will redeem you from death, and in time of war from the power of the sword.

When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.For day and night you tormented me; you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer.( Selah)Then I confessed my sin; I no longer covered up my wrongdoing. I said,“ I will confess my rebellious acts to the LORD.” And then you forgave my sins.( Selah)

“ Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you offer me.Bear with me and I will speak, and after I have spoken you may mock.Is my complaint against a man? If so, why should I not be impatient?

If I am guilty, woe to me, and if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head; I am full of shame, and satiated with my affliction.If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.

So now, LORD, kill me instead, because I would rather die than live!”

“ O that you would hide me in Sheol, and conceal me till your anger has passed! O that you would set me a time and then remember me!

“ Oh that my request would be realized, and that God would grant me what I long for!And that God would be willing to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.
