Strongs On/Off
Context
4:7 So God sent a worm at dawn the next day , and it attacked the little plant so that it dried up.
4:8 When the sun began to shine , God sent a hot east wind . So the sun beat down on Jonah’s head , and he grew faint . So he despaired of life , and said , “I would rather die than live !”
4:9 God said to Jonah , “Are you really so very angry about the little plant ?” And he said , “I am as angry as I could possibly be !”
4:10 The Lord said , “You were upset about this little plant , something for which you have not worked nor did you do anything to make it grow . It grew up overnight and died the next day .
4:11 Should I not be even more concerned about Nineveh , this enormous city ? There are more than one hundred twenty thousand people in it who do not know right from wrong , as well as many animals !”
