Jon 4:1

Jon 4:1But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

Jon 4:2

Jon 4:2And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

Jon 4:3

Jon 4:3Therefore now, O Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

Jon 4:4

Jon 4:4And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry?

Jon 4:5

Jon 4:5Then 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 shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

Jon 4:6

Jon 4:6And Jehovah God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his evil case. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

Jon 4:9

Jon 4:9And 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

Jon 4:10And Jehovah said, Thou hast had regard for the gourd, for which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

Jon 4:11

Jon 4:11and should not I have regard for 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?
