@ But it
displeased
Jonah
exceedingly
, and he was very
angry
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:2
@ And he
prayed
unto the
LORD
, and
said
, I
pray
thee, O
LORD
, was not this my
saying
, when I was yet in my
country
? Therefore I
fled
before
unto
Tarshish
: for I
knew
that thou art a
gracious
God
, and
merciful
,
slow
to
anger
, and of
great
kindness
, and
repentest
thee of the
evil
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:3
@ Therefore now, O
LORD
,
take
, I beseech thee, my
life
from me; for it is
better
for me to
die
than to
live
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:4
@ Then
said
the
LORD
, Doest thou
well
to be
angry
?
strkjv@Jonah:4:5
@ So
Jonah
went
out
of the
city
, and
sat
on the east
side
of the
city
, and there
made
him a
booth
, and
sat
under it in the
shadow
, till he might
see
what would become of the
city
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:6
@ And the
LORD
God
prepared
a
gourd
, and made it to come
up
over
Jonah
, that it might be a
shadow
over his
head
, to
deliver
him from his
grief
. So
Jonah
was
exceeding
glad
of the
gourd
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:7
@ But
God
prepared
a
worm
when the
morning
rose
the next
day
, and it
smote
the
gourd
that it
withered
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:8
@ And it came to pass, when the
sun
did
arise
, that
God
prepared
a
vehement
east
wind
; and the
sun
beat
upon the
head
of
Jonah
, that he
fainted
, and
wished
in
himself
to
die
, and
said
, It is
better
for me to
die
than to
live
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:9
@ And
God
said
to
Jonah
, Doest thou
well
to be
angry
for the
gourd
? And he
said
, I do
well
to be
angry
, even unto
death
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:10
@ Then
said
the
LORD
, Thou hast had
pity
on the
gourd
, for the which thou hast not
laboured
, neither madest it
grow
; which came up in a
night
, and
perished
in a
night
:
strkjv@Jonah:4:11
@ And should not I
spare
Nineveh
, that
great
city
, wherein
are
more
than
sixscore
sh@
thousand
persons
that cannot
discern
between their right
hand
and their left
hand
s@; and also
much
cattle
?
