Jonah 4




jub@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

jub@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed unto the LORD and said, I pray thee, O LORD, [was] this not what I said when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hastened to flee unto Tarshish, for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God and full of compassion, slow to anger, and of great mercy, and dost repent when thou art come to take punishment.

jub@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me, for I would rather die than live.

jub@Jonah:4:4 @ Then the LORD said, Art thou so angry?

jub@Jonah:4:5 @ And Jonah went out of the city and sat towards the east side of the city, and there made him a booth and sat under it in the shade until he might see what would become of the city.

jub@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 evil. So Jonah was exceeding glad for the gourd.

jub@Jonah:4:7 @ But God [also] prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd [so] that it withered.

jub@Jonah:4:8 @ And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah that he fainted and wished in his soul to die and said, [It] is better for me to die than to live.

jub@Jonah:4:9 @ And God said to Jonah, Art thou so angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death.

jub@Jonah:4:10 @ Then the LORD said, Thou hast had pity on the gourd for which thou hast not laboured, neither didst [thou] make it grow; which came up in a night and perished in a night:

jub@Jonah:4:11 @ And shall I not spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons, that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and many animals?:
