TSK · Jonah 4:3

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.”

while he went a day’s journey into the wilderness. 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.”

A Cry for Death“Oh that my request would be realized, and that God would grant me what I long for!

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

Do not let yourself be quickly provoked, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

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!”

For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.
