Jonah 4:1-11

But it displeased
<03415> (8799)

Jonah
<03124>

exceedingly
<01419> <07451>_,

and he was very angry
<02734> (8799)_.

And he prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray
<0577>

thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

[was] not this my saying
<01697>_,

when I was yet in my country
<0127>_?

Therefore I fled
<01272> (8800)

before
<06923> (8765)

unto Tarshish
<08659>_:

for I knew
<03045> (8804)

that thou [art] a gracious
<02587>

God
<0410>_,

and merciful
<07349>_,

slow
<0750>

to anger
<0639>_,

and of great
<07227>

kindness
<02617>_,

and repentest
<05162> (8737)

thee of the evil
<07451>_.

Therefore now, O LORD
<03068>_,

take
<03947> (8798)_,

I beseech thee, my life
<05315>

from me; for [it is] better
<02896>

for me to die
<04194>

than to live
<02416>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Doest thou well
<03190> (8687)

to be angry
<02734> (8804)_?

{Doest...: or, Art thou greatly angry?}

So Jonah
<03124>

went out
<03318> (8799)

of the city
<05892>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

on the east side
<06924>

of the city
<05892>_,

and there made
<06213> (8799)

him a booth
<05521>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

under it in the shadow
<06738>_,

till he might see
<07200> (8799)

what would become of the city
<05892>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

prepared
<04487> (8762)

a gourd
<07021>_,

and made [it] to come up
<05927> (8799)

over Jonah
<03124>_,

that it might be a shadow
<06738>

over his head
<07218>_,

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

him from his grief
<07451>_.

So Jonah
<03124>

was exceeding
<01419> <08057>

glad
<08055> (8799)

of the gourd
<07021>_.

{gourd: or, palmcrist: Heb. Kikajon} {was...: Heb. rejoiced with great joy}

But God
<0430>

prepared
<04487> (8762)

a worm
<08438>

when the morning
<07837>

rose
<05927> (8800)

the next day
<04283>_,

and it smote
<05221> (8686)

the gourd
<07021>

that it withered
<03001> (8799)_.

And it came to pass, when the sun
<08121>

did arise
<02224> (8800)_,

that God
<0430>

prepared
<04487> (8762)

a vehement
<02759>

east
<06921>

wind
<07307>_;

and the sun
<08121>

beat
<05221> (8686)

upon the head
<07218>

of Jonah
<03124>_,

that he fainted
<05968> (8691)_,

and wished
<07592> (8799)

in himself
<05315>

to die
<04191> (8800)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] better
<02896>

for me to die
<04194>

than to live
<02416>_.

{vehement: or, silent}

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jonah
<03124>_,

Doest thou well
<03190> (8687)

to be angry
<02734> (8804)

for the gourd
<07021>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I do well
<03190> (8687)

to be angry
<02734> (8804)_,

[even] unto death
<04194>_.

{Doest...: or, Art thou greatly angry?} {I do well...: or, I am greatly angry}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou hast had pity
<02347> (8804)

on the gourd
<07021>_,

for the which thou hast not laboured
<05998> (8804)_,

neither madest it grow
<01431> (8765)_;

which came up in a night
<01121> <03915>_,

and perished
<06> (8804)

in a night
<01121> <03915>_:

{had pity: or, spared} {came...: Heb. was the son of the night}

And should not I spare
<02347> (8799)

Nineveh
<05210>_,

that great
<01419>

city
<05892>_,

wherein are
<03426>

more
<07235> (8687)

than sixscore
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<07239>

persons
<0120>

that cannot discern
<03045> (8804)

between their right hand
<03225>

and their left hand
<08040>_;

and [also] much
<07227>

cattle
<0929>_?
