Jonah 4

1But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2And he prayed unto the Yahuah, and said, I pray you, O Yahuah, not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that you a gracious Elohim, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest you of the evil. 3Therefore now, O Yahuah, take, I beseech you, my life from me; for better for me to die than to live. 4Then said the Yahuah, Doest you well to be angry? 5So 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. 6And the Yahuah Elohim prepared a gourd, and made 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. 7But Elohim prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 8And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that Elohim 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, better for me to die than to live. 9And Elohim said to Jonah, Doest you well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, unto death. 10Then said the Yahuah, you hast had pity on the gourd, for the which you hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 11And 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 much cattle?
