Revised Version 1895
Jonah 4:5-9
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.
