1 Kings 19:4
19:4 while he went a day’s journey into the desert. 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.”
Jeremiah 20:7
Jeremiah Complains about the Reaction to His Ministry
20:7 Lord, you coerced me into being a prophet,
and I allowed you to do it.
You overcame my resistance and prevailed over me.
Now I have become a constant laughingstock.
Everyone ridicules me.
