Jonah, Chapter 4

1 But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the LORD and said, “Please LORD, was not thisa Lit my wordwhat I said while I was still in my own country? Thereforeb Lit I was beforehand in fleeingin order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning calamity. 3 Therefore now, O LORD, please take myc Lit soullife from me, for death is better to me than life.” 4 The LORD said, “Do you have good reason to be angry?”
5 Then Jonah went out from the city and sat east ofd Lit the cityit. There he made a shelter for himself and sat under it in the shade until he could see what would happen in the city. 6 So the LORD God appointed ae Probably a castor oil plant, and so in vv 7, 9 and 10plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah wasf Lit greatlyextremely happy about theg Probably a castor oil plant, and so in vv 7, 9 and 10plant. 7 But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered. 8 When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, “Death is better to me than life.”
9 Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “I have good reason to be angry, even to death.” 10 Then the LORD said, “You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, whichh Lit was a son of a nightcame up overnight and perishedi Lit a son of a nightovernight. 11 Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?”
