| The World English Online Bible (WLD) |
| Jonah 4:1 | But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. |
| 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. |
| 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." |
| Jonah 4:4 | Yahweh said, "Is it right for you to be angry?" |
| Jonah 4:5 | Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city. |
| Jonah 4:6 | Yahweh God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the gourd. |
| Jonah 4:7 | But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on vine, so that it withered. |
| 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." |
| 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." |
| 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. |
| 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?" |
