6 The LORD God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine. 7 But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered. 8 It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, |It is better for me to die than to live.| 9 God said to Jonah, |Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?| He said, |I am right to be angry, even to death.| 10 The LORD said, |You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
