| Jonah 4:1 | And it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. | | But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry. |
| Jonah 4:2 | And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Ah, Jehovah, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? Therefore I was minded to flee at first unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious ùGod, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. | | And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil. |
| Jonah 4:3 | And now, Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live. | | So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life. |
| Jonah 4:4 | And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry? | | And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry? |
| Jonah 4:5 | And 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 shade, till he might see what would become of the city. | | Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town. |
| Jonah 4:6 | And Jehovah Elohim prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his trouble. And Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd. | | And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine. |
| Jonah 4:7 | But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered. | | But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead. |
| Jonah 4:8 | And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, so that he fainted; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. | | Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life. |
| Jonah 4:9 | And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, unto death. | | And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry. |
| Jonah 4:10 | And Jehovah said, Thou hast pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: | | And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night; |
| Jonah 4:11 | and I, should not I have pity on Nineveh, the great city, wherein are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? | | And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle? |
