drb @Jonah:4:1 @And Jonas was exceedingly troubled , and was angry : drb @Jonah:4:2 @And he prayed to the Lord , and said : I beseech thee , O Lord , is not this what I said , when I was yet in my own country ? therefore I went before to flee into Tharsis : for I know that thou art a gracious and merciful God , patient , and of much compassion , and easy to forgive evil . drb @Jonah:4:3 @And now , O Lord , I beseech thee take my life from me : for it is better for me to die than to live . drb @Jonah:4:4 @And the Lord said : Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry ? drb @Jonah:4:5 @Then Jonas went out of the city , and sat toward the east side of the city : and he made himself a booth there , and he sat under it in the shadow , till he might see what would befall the city . drb @Jonah:4:6 @And the Lord God prepared an ivy , and it came up over the head of Jonas , to be a shadow over his head , and to cover him (for he was fatigued ): and Jonas was exceeding glad of the ivy . drb @Jonah:4:7 @But God prepared a worm , when the morning arose on the following day : and it struck the ivy and it withered . drb @Jonah:4:8 @And when the sun was risen , the Lord commanded a hot and burning wind : and the sun beat upon the head of Jonas , and he broiled with the heat : and he desired for his soul that he might die , and said : It is better for me to die than to live . drb @Jonah:4:9 @And the Lord said to Jonas : Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry , for the ivy ?
