[1]But it displeasedH3415[H8799] JonahH3124 exceedinglyH1419[H7451], and he was very angryH2734.[H8799]
[2]And he prayedH6419[H8691] unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559[H8799], I prayH577 thee, O LORDH3068, was not this my sayingH1697, when I was yet in my countryH127? Therefore I fledH1272[H8800] beforeH6923[H8765] unto TarshishH8659: for I knewH3045[H8804] that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentestH5162[H8737] thee of the evilH7451.
[3]Therefore now, O LORDH3068, takeH3947[H8798], I beseech thee, my lifeH5315 from me; for it is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416.
[4]Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068, Doest thou wellH3190[H8687] to be angryH2734?[H8804]
[5]So JonahH3124 went outH3318[H8799] of the cityH5892, and satH3427[H8799] on the east sideH6924 of the cityH5892, and there madeH6213[H8799] him a boothH5521, and satH3427[H8799] under it in the shadowH6738, till he might seeH7200[H8799] what would become of the cityH5892.
[6]And the LORDH3068 GodH430 preparedH4487[H8762] a gourdH7021, and made it to come upH5927[H8799] over JonahH3124, that it might be a shadowH6738 over his headH7218, to deliverH5337[H8687] him from his griefH7451. So JonahH3124 was exceedingH1419[H8057] gladH8055[H8799] of the gourdH7021.
[7]But GodH430 preparedH4487[H8762] a wormH8438 when the morningH7837 roseH5927[H8800] the next dayH4283, and it smoteH5221[H8686] the gourdH7021 that it witheredH3001.[H8799]
[8]And it came to pass, when the sunH8121 did ariseH2224[H8800], that GodH430 preparedH4487[H8762] a vehementH2759 eastH6921 windH7307; and the sunH8121 beatH5221[H8686] upon the headH7218 of JonahH3124, that he faintedH5968[H8691], and wishedH7592[H8799] in himselfH5315 to dieH4191[H8800], and saidH559[H8799], It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416.
[9]And GodH430 saidH559[H8799] to JonahH3124, Doest thou wellH3190[H8687] to be angryH2734[H8804] for the gourdH7021? And he saidH559[H8799], I do wellH3190[H8687] to be angryH2734[H8804], even unto deathH4194.
[10]Then saidH559[H8799] the LORDH3068, Thou hast had pityH2347[H8804] on the gourdH7021, for the which thou hast not labouredH5998[H8804], neither madest it growH1431[H8765]; which came up in a nightH1121[H3915], and perishedH6[H8804] in a nightH1121:[H3915]
[11]And should not I spareH2347[H8799] NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, wherein areH3426 moreH7235[H8687] than sixscoreH8147[H6240] thousandH7239 personsH120 that cannot discernH3045[H8804] between their right handH3225 and their left handH8040; and also muchH7227 cattleH929?
