Jonah 4

Jonah Chapter 4 KJV

1Jonah, repining at God's mercy, 4is reproved by the type of a gourd.
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2 And 1he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I 2fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a 3gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3 Therefore now, O Lord, 1take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for 2it is better for me to die than to live.
4 ¶ Then said the Lord, aDoest thou well to be angry?
5 So Jonah 1went 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 1prepared a agourd, 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 bwas exceeding glad of the gourd.
7 1But 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 avehement east wind; and 1the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and 2wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
9 And God said to Jonah, aDoest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, bI do well to be angry, even unto death.
10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast ahad pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which bcame up in a night, and perished in a night:
11 And 1should not I spare 2Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that 3cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; 4and also much cattle?
