And it came to pass when Sarah heard this reproach, that she was grieved sore. And she wept, and went up to her father’s upper chamber, and cried before the Lord with a bitter voice, and said, O Lord God, thou hast given me to my parents, who are old and well stricken in age, and thou hast sent against my husbands that married me the king of the demons, for thou art the God of all the spirits and all the demons, and the maker of all creatures, and in thy hand are all the kinds of evil spirits which are in the world.
Now therefore, O Lord, is it good in thine eyes that I should bring down the old age of my father and my mother in sorrow to the grave? For if the sentence of judgment hath gone forth from before thee against me in this matter, destroy me utterly, I pray, and let me see no longer my exceeding trouble and my great reproach. Thou knowest, O Lord, that I am pure from all pollution with man, and that I have not polluted my name nor the name of my parents in the land of my captivity.
And I am the only child of my father and my mother, neither hath he son to possess his inheritance, nor hath he a kinsman who may possess me. And behold seven husbands are dead for my sake, and what profit have I in being any longer in the world? But if it be not good in thine eyes to kill me, look and answer me, and have mercy on me, that I may hear my reproach no more.
