1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly  , and he was very angry  2 And he prayed to the LORD , and said , I pray you, O LORD , [was] not this my saying , when I was yet in my country ? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish : for I knew that you [are] a gracious God , and merciful , slow to anger , and of great kindness , and repentest you of the evil  3 Therefore now, O LORD , take , I beg you, my life from me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live  4 Then said the LORD , Do you well to be angry  5 So Jonah went out of the city , and sat on the east side of the city , and there made him a booth , and sat under it in the shadow , till he might see what would become of the city  6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd , and made [it] to come up over Jonah , that it might be a shadow over his head , to deliver him from his grief . So Jonah was exceeding  glad of the gourd  7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day , and it smote the gourd that it withered  8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise , that God prepared a vehement east wind ; and the sun beat on the head of Jonah , that he fainted , and wished in himself to die , and said , [It is] better for me to die than to live  9 And God said to Jonah , Do you well to be angry for the gourd ? And he said , I do well to be angry , [even] to death  10 Then said the LORD , you have had pity on the gourd , for the which you have not laboured , neither made it grow ; which came up in a night  , and perished in a night   11 And should not I spare Nineveh , that great city , in which are more than one hundred and twenty  thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand ; and [also] much cattle
