1 Kings 19:4

4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. ^aAnd 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.”

Job 3:20-22

20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
and life to ^bthe bitter in soul,
21 who ^clong for death, but it comes not,
and dig for it more than for ^dhidden treasures,
22 who rejoice exceedingly
and are glad when they find the grave?

Job 7:15-16

15 so that I would choose strangling
and death rather than my ^ebones.
16 I ^floathe my life; I would not live forever.
^gLeave me alone, for my days are ^ha breath.

13 Oh that you would ⁱhide me in ^jSheol,
that you would ^kconceal me ^luntil your wrath be past,
that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

Jeremiah 20:14-18

14 ^mCursed be the day
on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
let it not be blessed!
15 Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father,
“A son is born to you,”
ⁿmaking him very glad.
16 Let that man be like ^othe cities
that the Lord overthrew without pity;
^plet him hear a cry in the morning
and an alarm at noon,
17 ^qbecause he did not kill me in the womb;
so my mother would have been my grave,
and her womb forever great.
18 ^rWhy did I come out from the womb
^sto see toil and sorrow,
and spend my days in shame?
