Cf. for example: I cannot carry all these people by myself, for they are too heavy for me. If this is the way you will deal with me, then please do me the favour of killing me at once, so that I need no longer face my distress (Num 11:14-15). And Why did I come forth from the womb, to see sorrow and pain, to end my days in shame? And also 1 Kgs 19:4: Enough, Lord! Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors (Jer 20:18).
