But it greatly
displeased
Jonah
and he became angry.
2
He prayed
to the LORD
and said,
"Please
LORD,
was not this
what
I said
while I was still
in my own country?
Therefore
in order to forestall
this I fled
to Tarshish,
for I knew
that You are a gracious
and compassionate
God,
slow
to anger
and abundant
in lovingkindness,
and one who relents
concerning
calamity.
3
"Therefore now,
O LORD,
please
take
my life
from me, for death
is better
to me than
life."
4
The LORD
said,
"Do you have good reason
to be angry?"
5
Then Jonah
went
out from the city
and sat
east
of it. There
he made
a shelter
for himself
and sat
under
it in the shade
until
he could see
what
would happen
in the city.
6
So the LORD
God
appointed
a plant
and it grew
up
over
Jonah
to be a shade
over
his head
to deliver
him from his discomfort.
And
Jonah
was extremely
happy
about
the plant.
7
But God
appointed
a worm
when dawn
came
the next day
and it attacked
the plant
and it withered.
8
When the sun
came
up God
appointed
a scorching
east
wind,
and the sun
beat down
on Jonah's
head
so that he be
came
faint
and begged
with all his soul
to die,
saying,
"Death
is better
to me than
life."
9
Then God
said
to Jonah,
"Do you have good
reason
to be angry
about
the plant?"
And he
said
,
"I have good
reason
to be angry
,
even to death."
10
Then the LORD
said,
"You had compassion
on the plant
for
which
you did not work
and
which
you did not cause to grow,
which
came
up overnight
and perished
overnight.
11
"Should I not have compassion
on Nineveh,
the great
city
in which
there
are more
than
120,000
persons
who
do not know
the difference between
their right
and left hand,
as well as many
animals?"
