Jonah 4:6-8
6And YhwhH3068 GodH430 preparedH4487 a gourdH7021, and made it to come upH5927 over JonahH3124, that it might be a shadowH6738 over his headH7218, to deliverH5337 him from his griefH7451. So JonahH3124 was exceedingH8057H1419 gladH8055 of the gourdH7021.12
7But GodH430 preparedH4487 a wormH8438 when the morningH7837 roseH5927 the next dayH4283, and it smoteH5221 the gourdH7021 that it witheredH3001.
8And it came to pass, when the sunH8121 did ariseH2224, that GodH430 preparedH4487 a vehementH2759 eastH6921 windH7307; and the sunH8121 beatH5221 upon the headH7218 of JonahH3124, that he faintedH5968, and wishedH7592 in himselfH5315 to dieH4191, and saidH559, It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416.3
