Jonah 4:8-11

8

As the sunH8121 was risingH2224, GodH430 appointedH4487 a scorchingH2759 eastH6921 windH7307, and the sunH8121 beat downH5221 onH5921 Jonah’sH3124 headH7218 so that he grew faintH5968 and wishedH7592 to dieH4191, sayingH559, “It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416.”

9Then GodH430H413 askedH559 JonahH3124, “Have you any rightH3190 to be angryH2734 aboutH5921 the plantH7021?”

“I doH3190,” he repliedH559. “I am angryH2734 enough toH5704 dieH4194!”

10But the LORDH3068 saidH559, “YouH859 caredH2347 aboutH5921 the plantH7021, whichH834 you neitherH3808 tendedH5998 norH3808 made growH1431. It sprang upH1961 in a nightH1121H3915 and perishedH6 in a nightH1121H3915. 11So should IH589 notH3808 careH2347 aboutH5921 the greatH1419 cityH5892 of NinevehH5210, whichH834 hasH3426 more thanH7235 120,000H8147H6240H7239 peopleH120 whoH834 cannotH3808 tellH3045H996 their right handH3225 from their leftH8040, and manyH7227 cattle as wellH929?”
