21 Who [a](A)long for death, but there is none,And dig for it more than for (B)hidden treasures;
22 Who are filled with jubilation,And rejoice when they find the grave?
15 So that my soul would choose suffocation,Death rather than my [a]pains.
16 I [a](A)waste away; I will not live forever.Leave me alone, (B)for my days are only a breath.
3 So now, Lord, please (A)take my [a]life from me, for death is (B)better to me than life.”
6 And in those days (A)people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death [a]will flee from them!
