Jonah 4:6-11: [6] Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that
it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was
exceedingly glad because of the plant.
[7] But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked
the plant, so that it withered.
[8] When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat
down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die
and said,
“It is better for me to die than to live.
”
[9] But God said to Jonah,
“Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he
said,
“Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.
”
[10] And the LORD said,
“You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did
you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night.
[11]And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than
120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much
cattle?”
