1 Jonah was very upset about this, and he became angry. 2 So he prayed to the LORD, |LORD, isn't this what I said would happen when I was still in my own country? That's why I tried to run to Tarshish in the first place. I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, patient, and always ready to forgive and to reconsider your threats of destruction. 3 So now, LORD, take my life. I'd rather be dead than alive.| 4 The LORD asked, |What right do you have to be angry?| 5 Jonah left the city and sat down east of it. He made himself a shelter there. He sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. 6 The LORD God made a plant grow up beside Jonah to give him shade and make him more comfortable. Jonah was very happy with the plant. Jonah 4:1-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
