Elijah walked a whole day into the wilderness. He stopped and sat down in the shade of a tree and wished he would die. "It's too much, LORD," he prayed. "Take away my life; I might as well be dead!"

Why let people go on living in misery? Why give light to those in grief ?

They are not happy till they are dead and buried;

I give up; I am tired of living. Leave me alone. My life makes no sense.

I wish you would hide me in the world of the dead; let me be hidden until your anger is over, and then set a time to remember me.

Now then, LORD, let me die. I am better off dead than alive."

When Esau was forty years old, he married two Hittites, Judith the daughter of Beeri, and Basemath the daughter of Elon.

They made life miserable for Isaac and Rebecca.

One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the Canaanite women.

When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, who was chief of that region, saw her, he took her and raped her.

I want you to make a vow in the name of the LORD, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not choose a wife for my son from the people here in Canaan.
