Jonah 4:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
But it displeased
Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2
And he prayed unto the
L
ORD
, and said, I pray thee, O
L
ORD
,
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.
3
Therefore now, O
L
ORD
, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for
it is
better for me to die than to live.
4
Then said the
L
ORD
, Doest thou well to be angry?
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.
6
And the
L
ORD
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.
7
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
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.
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.
10
Then said the
L
ORD
, 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:
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?
