But it displeasedH7489 H5869 JonahH3124 exceedingly,H1419 and he was very angry.H2734
2
And he prayedH6419 to the LORD,H3068 and said,H559 I prayH577 you, O LORD,H3068 was not thisH2088 my saying,H1697 whenH5704 I was yetH5704 in my country?H127 ThereforeH5921 H3651 I fledH1272 beforeH6924 to Tarshish:H8659 for I knewH3045 that you are a graciousH2587 God,H410 and merciful,H7349 slowH750 to anger,H639 and of greatH7227 kindness,H2617 and repentH5162 you of the evil.H7451
3
Therefore now,H6258 O LORD,H3068 take,H3947 I beseechH4994 you, my lifeH5315 from me; for it is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to live.H2416
4
Then saidH559 the LORD,H3068 Do you wellH3190 to be angry?H2734
5
So JonahH3124 wentH3318 out of the city,H5892 and satH3427 on the eastH6924 sideH6924 of the city,H5892 and thereH8033 madeH6213 him a booth,H5521 and satH3427 underH8478 it in the shadow,H6738 tillH5704 he might seeH7200 whatH4100 would becomeH1961 of the city.H5892
6
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 preparedH4487 a gourd,H7021 and made it to comeH5927 up overH5921 Jonah,H3124 that it might be a shadowH6738 overH5921 his head,H7218 to deliverH5337 him from his grief.H7451 So JonahH3124 was exceedingH1419 gladH8056 of the gourd.H7021
7
But GodH430 preparedH4487 a wormH8438 when the morningH7837 roseH5927 the nextH4283 day,H4283 and it smoteH5221 the gourdH7021 that it withered.H3001
8
And it cameH1961 to pass, when the sunH8121 did arise,H2224 that GodH430 preparedH4487 a vehementH2759 eastH6921 wind;H7307 and the sunH8121 beatH5221 on the headH7218 of Jonah,H3124 that he fainted,H5968 and wishedH7592 in himself to die,H4191 and said,H559 It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4191 than to live.H2416
9
And GodH430 saidH559 to Jonah,H3124 Do you wellH3190 to be angryH2734 for the gourd?H7021 And he said,H559 I do wellH3190 to be angry,H2734 even to death.H4194
10
Then saidH559 the LORD,H3068 You have had pityH2347 onH5921 the gourd,H7021 for the whichH834 you have not labored,H5998 neitherH3808 made it grow;H1431 which cameH1961 up in a night,H3915 and perishedH6 in a night:H3915
11
And should not I spareH2347 Nineveh,H5210 that greatH1419 city,H5892 wherein are moreH7227 then six scoreH8147 thousandH7239 personsH120 that cannotH3808 discernH3045 betweenH996 their rightH3225 handH3225 and their leftH8040 hand;H8040 and also muchH7227 cattle?H929
