Jonah 4

Revised Version 1895

1But it displeasedH7489 JonahH3124 exceedinglyH1419, and he was angryH2734. 2And he prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I prayH6419 thee, O LORDH3068, was notH3808 this my sayingH559, when I was yet in my countryH127? Therefore I hasted to fleeH1272 unto TarshishH8659: for I knewH3045 that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and fullH7227 of compassionH5162, slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteous in mercyH3068, and repentest thee of the evilH7451. 3Therefore nowH6258, O LORDH3068, takeH3947, I beseechH4994 thee, my lifeH5315 from meH4994; for it is betterH2896 for meH4994 to dieH4194 thanH4480 to liveH2416. 4And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Doest thou wellH3190 to be angryH2734? 5Then JonahH3124 wentH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and satH3427 on the eastH6924 side of the cityH5892, and there madeH6213 him a boothH5521, and satH3427 underH8478 it in the shadowH6738, tillH5704 he might seeH7200 whatH4100 would becomeH1961 of the cityH5892. 6And the LORDH3068 GodH430 prepared a gourd, and madeH1961 it to comeH1961 upH5927 over JonahH3124, that it might be a shadowH6738 over his headH7218, to deliverH5337 him from his evilH7451 case. SoH1961 JonahH3124 was exceedingH8057 gladH8055 becauseH5921 of the gourd. 7But GodH430 prepared a worm when the morningH4283 roseH5927 the nextH4283 dayH4283, and it smoteH5221 the gourd, that it witheredH3001. 8And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the sunH8121 arose, that GodH430 prepared a sultry eastH6921 windH7307; and the sunH8121 beatH5221 uponH5921 the headH7218 of JonahH3124, that he faintedH5968, and requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191, and saidH559, It is betterH2896 for meH5315 to dieH4191 thanH2896 to liveH2416. 9And GodH430 saidH559 to JonahH3124, Doest thou wellH3190 to be angryH2734 for the gourd? And he saidH559, I doH3190 wellH3190 to be angryH2734 evenH5704 unto deathH4194. 10And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Thou hast had pityH2347 on the gourd; for the whichH834 thou hast notH3808 laboured, neitherH3808 madest it growH1431; whichH834 cameH1961 upH5921 in a nightH3915, and perishedH6 in a nightH3915: 11and should notH3808 I have pityH2347 on NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892; whereinH834 are moreH3808 thanH3808 sixscore thousandH7239 personsH120 that cannotH3808 discernH3045 betweenH996 their rightH3225 handH3225 and their leftH8040 handH3225; and also muchH7235 cattleH929?
