| Jonah 4:2 | He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and you repent 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 | Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, 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 4:8 | It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head , so that he fainted, and 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 | God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to 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 | Yahweh said, "You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made 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 | Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't 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? | |
