Jonah 4:8-11

8And when the sunH8121 cameH2224 up GodH430 designatedH4487 a scorchingH2759 1eastH6921 windH7307, and the 2sunH8121 beatH5221 downH5921 on Jonah’sH3124 headH7218 so that he becameH5968 faintH5968, and he beggedH7592 with all his soulH5315 to dieH4191, sayingH559, “3DeathH4194 is betterH2896 to me thanH4480 lifeH2425!”

9But GodH430 saidH559 to JonahH3124, “Do you haveH3190 a goodH3190 reasonH3190 to beH2734 angryH2734 aboutH5921 the plantH7021?” And he saidH559, “I haveH3190 goodH3190 reasonH3190 to beH2734 angryH2734, even to the pointH5704 of deathH4194!” 10Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “You hadH2347 compassionH2347 on the plantH7021, for whichH834 you did not workH5998 and which you did not cause to growH1431, whichH7945 4cameH1961 up overnightH1121H3915 and perishedH6 5overnightH1121H3915. 11Should I not also 6haveH2347 compassionH2347 on NinevehH5210, the greatH1419 cityH5892 in whichH834 thereH3426 areH3426 moreH7235 thanH4480 120,000H8147H6240H7239 peopleH120, whoH834 do not 7knowH3045 the difference betweenH996 their rightH3225 handH3225 and their leftH8040, as well as manyH7227 8animalsH929?”
