Jonás 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!

Jonás 4:9 In-Context

7 Y el mismo Dios prepar贸 un gusano viniendo la ma帽ana del d铆a siguiente, el cual hiri贸 a la calabacera, y se sec贸.
8 Y acaeci贸 que saliendo el sol, prepar贸 Dios un recio viento solano; y el sol hiri贸 a Jon谩s en la cabeza, y se desmayaba, y ped铆a su alma la muerte, diciendo: Mejor ser铆a para m铆 la muerte que mi vida.
9 Entonces dijo Dios a Jon谩s: 驴Tanto te enojas por la calabacera? Y 茅l respondi贸: Hago bien en enojarme, hasta desear la muerte.
10 Y le dijo el SE脩OR: Tuviste t煤 piedad de la calabacera, en la cual no trabajaste, ni t煤 la hiciste crecer; que en espacio de una noche naci贸, y en espacio de otra noche pereci贸,
11 驴y no tendr茅 yo piedad de N铆nive, aquella gran ciudad donde hay m谩s de ciento veinte mil hombres que no saben discernir entre su mano derecha y su mano izquierda, y muchos animales?
