Revelation 9:6

In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

·        Unfortunately, this “sting” does not bring the desired repentance, but instead men desire death. (CS)

·        The anguish of a scorpion sting drives men to great despair and even panic, so that men seek suicide instead of God, but are unable to do it. In an unspecified way, God doesn’t allow them to kill themselves.                                                                                        

Job 3:21  Who long for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than hidden treasures.

Jeremiah 8:3  Then death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of hosts.
