JONAH 4
1 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.
2 He prayed to the
Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I
tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and
compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from
sending calamity.
3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to
die than to live.”
4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
5 Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made
himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the
city.
6 Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over
Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very
happy about the plant.
7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which
chewed the plant so that it withered.
8 When the sun rose, God provided a
scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint.
He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”
9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”
“It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.”
10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you
did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight.
11
And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there
are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right
hand from their left—and also many animals?”
