⁶ And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.

³ And death will be desired more than life by the rest of this evil family who are still living in all the places where I have sent them away, says the Lord of armies.

¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁵ So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.

¹⁶ I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.

⁹ Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.

²⁰ Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;

²¹ To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;

²² Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;

¹⁹ And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

⁸ And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.

³⁰ And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.
