Jonas 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jonah 4:9

And God said to Jonah, dost thou well to be angry for the
gourd?
&c.] Or, "art thou very angry for it?" as the Targum: no mention is made of the blustering wind and scorching sun, because the gourd or plant raised up over him would have protected him from the injuries of both, had it continued; and it was for the loss of that that Jonah was so displeased, and in such a passion. This question is put in order to draw out the following answer, and so give an opportunity of improving this affair to the end for which it was designed: and he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death;
or, "I am very angry unto death", as the Targum; I am so very angry that I cannot live under it for fretting and vexing; and it is right for me to be so, though I die with the passion of it: how ungovernable are the passions of men, and to what insolence do they rise when under the power of them!

Jonas 4:9 In-Context

7 Mas na madrugada do dia seguinte, Deus mandou uma lagarta atacar a planta e ela secou-se.
8 Ao nascer do sol, Deus trouxe um vento oriental muito quente, e o sol bateu na cabeça de Jonas ao ponto de ele quase desmaiar. Com isso ele desejou morrer e disse: “Para mim seria melhor morrer do que viver”.
9 Mas Deus disse a Jonas: “VocĂȘ tem alguma razĂŁo para estar tĂŁo furioso por causa da planta?”Respondeu ele: “Sim, tenho! E estou furioso ao ponto de querer morrer”.
10 Mas o SENHOR lhe disse: “VocĂȘ tem pena dessa planta, embora nĂŁo a tenha podado nem a tenha feito crescer. Ela nasceu numa noite e numa noite morreu.
11 Contudo, NĂ­nive tem mais de cento e vinte mil pessoas que nĂŁo sabem nem distinguir a mĂŁo direita da esquerda, alĂ©m de muitos rebanhos. NĂŁo deveria eu ter pena dessa grande cidade?”
