Tobit 3:6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ So now deal with me as you will;
    command my spirit to be taken from me,
    so that I may be released from the face of the earth and become dust.
For it is better for me to die than to live,
    because I have had to listen to undeserved insults,
    and great is the sorrow that attends me.
Command, O Lord, that I be released from this distress;
    release me to go to the place of eternity,
    and do not, O Lord, turn your face away from me.
For it is better for me to die
    than to see so much distress in my life
    and better not to listen to insults.”^(A)
