Jonah 4:1-5

1But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2And he prayed unto Yhwh, and said, I pray thee, O Yhwh, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3Therefore now, O Yhwh, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

4Then said Yhwh, Doest thou well to be angry?1 5So 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 shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
