Chapter 4
| Jonah 4:1 | But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
|
| 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 mine own country? Therefore I fled beforehand unto Tarshish; for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repentest Thee of the evil.
|
| 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.'
|
| Jonah 4:4 | And the LORD said: 'Art thou greatly angry?'
|
| Jonah 4:5 | Then 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.
|
| 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 because of the gourd.
|
| Jonah 4:7 | But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.
|
| 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 requested for himself that he might die, and said: 'It is better for me to die than to live.'
|
| Jonah 4:9 | And God said to Jonah: 'Art thou greatly angry for the gourd?' And he said: 'I am greatly angry, even unto death.'
|
| Jonah 4:10 | And the LORD said: 'Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night;
|
| Jonah 4:11 | and should not I have pity on Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?'
