Jeremiah 8:3

And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

Death shall be chosen rather than life - the survivors shall be still worse off than the dead (; , "In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them").

Which remain in all the places - `in all places of them that remain, where I,' etc. - i:e., in all places where I have driven them that remain (Maurer).
