Jonah 4 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Jonah’s Displeasure Rebuked

But it greatly^H1419 displeased^H7489^H7451 Jonah^H3124, and he became^H2734 angry^H2734.

Jon 4:2Then he prayed to the LORD and said, “Please LORD, was this not [fn]what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore in anticipation of this I fled to Tarshish, since I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and One who relents of disaster.

Jon 4:3

Jon 4:3“So now, LORD, please take my [fn]life from me, for death is better to me than life.”

Jon 4:4

Jon 4:4But the LORD said, “Do you have a good reason to be angry?”

Jon 4:5

Then Jonah^H3124 left^H3318 the city^H5892 and sat^H3427 down^H3427 east^H6924 of [fn]it. There^H8033 he made^H6213 a shelter^H5521 for himself and sat^H3427 under^H8478 it in the shade^H6738, until^H5704^H834 he could see^H7200 what^H4100 would happen^H1961 in the city^H5892.

Jon 4:6

Jon 4:6So the LORD God designated a [fn]plant, and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head, to [fn]relieve him of his discomfort. And Jonah [fn]was overjoyed about the plant.

Jon 4:7

Jon 4:7But God designated a worm when dawn came the next day, and it attacked the plant and it withered.

Jon 4:8

Jon 4:8And when the sun came up God designated a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint, and he begged with all his soul to die, saying, “Death is better to me than life!”

Jon 4:9

But God^H430 said^H559 to Jonah^H3124, “Do you have^H3190 a good^H3190 reason^H3190 to be^H2734 angry^H2734 about^H5921 the plant^H7021?” And he said^H559, “I have^H3190 good^H3190 reason^H3190 to be^H2734 angry^H2734, even to the point^H5704 of death^H4194!”

Jon 4:10

Jon 4:10Then the LORD said, “You had compassion on the plant, for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which [fn]came up overnight and perished [fn]overnight.

Jon 4:11

Jon 4:11“Should I not also have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 people, who do not know the difference between their right hand and their left, as well as many animals?”
