* But it displeased Jonah exceedingly gadowl #, and he was very angry . * 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 . * Therefore now , O LORD , take , I beseech thee , my life from me ; for it is better for me to die than to live . * Then said the LORD , Doest thou well to be angry ? * 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 . * And the LORD God prepared a gourd , and made it to come up over Jonah , that it might be a shadow over his head ro #sh #, to deliver him from his grief . So Jonah was exceeding gadowl # glad of the gourd . * But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day , and it smote the gourd that it withered . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 ben #, and perished in a night ben #: * And should not I spare Nineveh , that great city , wherein are more than sixscore sh @nayim # thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand s @mo #wl #; and also much cattle ?
