Jonah 4:6-9

4:6

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}

4:7

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)_.

4:8

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}

4:9

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}
