So
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.

And the
LORD God prepared a
gourd, and made it to come
up over
Jonah, that it might be a
shadow over his
head, to
deliver him from his
grief. So
Jonah was
exceeding* glad of the
gourd.

But
God prepared a
worm when the
morning rose the next
day, and it
smote the
gourd that it
withered.

And it came to pass, when the
sun did
arise, that
God prepared a
vehement east wind; and the
sun beat upon the
head of
Jonah, that he
fainted, and
wished in
himself to
die, and
said, It is
better for me to
die than to
live.

And
God said to
Jonah, Doest thou
well to be
angry for the
gourd? And he
said, I do
well to be
angry, even unto
death.

Then
said the
LORD, Thou hast had
pity on the
gourd, for the which thou hast not
laboured, neither madest it
grow; which came up in a
night*, and
perished in a
night*:

And should not I
spare Nineveh, that
great city, wherein
are more than
sixscore* thousand persons that cannot
discern between their right
hand and their left
hand; and also
much cattle?
