Jonah Chapter 4

1 And it greatly displeased Jonah, and he burned with anger.

2 And he prayed to the Lord and he said, “I pray, O Lord, is this not my word until my leaving of my country? This is why I intended to flee to Tarshish for I knew that you are a gracious God and compassionate, slow to anger and great in lovingkindness and relenting from disaster. 3 And now, O Lord please take my life from me for better is my death than my life. 4 And the Lord said, "Are you rightly angry?"

5 And Jonah went from the city and he sat east of the city and he made for himself there a booth and he sat underneath it in the shade until he could see what would become of the city. 6 And the Lord God assigned a gourd and he caused it to grow up over Jonah to become shade over his head to deliver to him from his grief and Jonah rejoiced over the gourd with great joy.

7 And God appointed a worm to go up at the dawn on of the next day it scouraged the plant and it dried up.

8 Then, the sun rose and God appointed a silent east wind and the sun scourged the head of Jonah and covered him and he asked his soul to die and he said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

9 God said to Jonah, "Are you pleased to be angry over the plant? " And he said, "I am pleased to be angry even until death."

10 And the Lord said, "You took pity on the plant which you did not labor over, and did not cause him to grow, which came into being in the night in the night perished.

11 And will I not have pity for Nineveh, the great city which has in her more than from 120,000 men who did not know between his right hand his left hand and many animals?
