revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

revelation 9:6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them.

6. shall desire--Greek, "eagerly desire"; set their mind on.
shall flee--So B, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic read. But A and Aleph read, "fleeth," namely continually. In Re 6:16, which is at a later stage of God's judgments, the ungodly seek annihilation, not from the torment of their suffering, but from fear of the face of the Lamb before whom they have to stand.

revelation 9:6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them.
