Jonah 4:6-9
4:6 The
Lord God appointed
a little plant
and caused it to grow up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to rescue
him from his misery.
Now Jonah was very delighted
about the little plant.
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!”
