Jonah 4:8-11 ▼

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.

11 Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?|
