In context

4For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.

5And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee:

6And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live.

7Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father’s servant maids,

8Because she had been given to seven husbands, and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.
