Bible. Jonah
4:8. And when the sun was risen, the Lord commanded a hot and burning
wind: and the sun beat upon the head of Jonas, and he broiled with the
heat: and he desired for his soul that he might die, and said: It is

4:9. And the Lord said to Jonas: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be

4:10. And the Lord said: Thou art grieved for the ivy, for which thou

4:11. And shall I not spare Ninive, that great city, in which there are

distinguish between their right hand and their left, and many beasts?
