For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have beat down its choice plants which have come to Jazer, and wandered in the wilderness; her branches are stretched out, they have crossed over the sea.

Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah with the weeping of Jazer. I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; for the shouting for your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen short.

Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon,

the land which Jehovah has struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.

From the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh, and to Jahaz, they have uttered their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim, like a three year old heifer; for the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.

But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. And Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

And Sihon and all his people came out against us to do battle at Jahaz.

Jahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these daughters of the land, what kind of life is that to me?

If You are dealing with me like this, please kill and destroy me, if I have found favor in Your eyes; and do not let me see my distress!

But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he requested for his soul that he might die, and said, It is enough! Now, Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!

Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,

who are joyful with exultation, and are glad when they meet the grave;

so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my body.

I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are but a breath.

And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the rest of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Jehovah of Hosts.

Why did I come forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

And now, O Jehovah, please take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.

And it happened when the sun rose, that God appointed a scorching east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted; and he begged for his soul to die. And he said, It is better for me to die than to live.

And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will crave to die, and death will flee from them.
