4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."

4 maar self het hy 'n dagreis ver die woestyn ingegaan en daar onder 'n besembos gaan sit en gewens dat hy mag sterwe. En hy sê: Dit is genoeg, neem nou my siel weg, HERE, want ek is nie beter as my vaders nie.
