JON-4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very
angry.
JON-4:2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O
LORD,
[was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?
Therefore I
fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious
God,
and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
repentest thee
of the evil.
JON-4:3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life
from me;
for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
JON-4:4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
JON-4:5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side
of
the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the
shadow,
till he might see what would become of the city.
JON-4:6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made [it] to
come up
over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver
him
from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
JON-4:7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next
day,
and it smote the gourd that it withered.
JON-4:8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God
prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of
Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said,
[It
is] better for me to die than to live.
JON-4:9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for
the
gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death.
JON-4:10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd,
for the
which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came
up in
a night, and perished in a night:
JON-4:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city,
wherein are
more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between
their
right hand and their left hand; and [also] much cattle?
