Psalms 78:42They did not remember His power— the day He redeemed them from the adversary,Exodus 6:9Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.Jonah 4:3And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”Exodus 3:9And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.Jonah 4:8As the sun was rising, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint and wished to die, saying, “It is better for me to die than to live.”Exodus 5:21“May the LORD look upon you and judge you,” the foremen said, “for you have made us a stench before Pharaoh and his officials; you have placed in their hand a sword to kill us!”Mark 5:17–18And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.Mark 1:24“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
