1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, I pray you, oh, Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish: for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and you repent of the evil. 3 Therefore now, oh, Jehovah, take my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then said Jehovah, Do you 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, until he might see what would become of the city. 6 And Jehovah 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 struck the gourd that it withered. 8 When the sun did arise, God prepared a vehement East wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished, within himself, to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. 9 And God said to Jonah, Do you well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death. 10 Then said Jehovah, You have had pity on the gourd, for the which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one-hundred-twenty-thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
