Bible. Jonah
32:003:009 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from
his fierce anger, that we perish not?
32:003:010 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;
and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would
do unto them; and he did it not.
32:004:001 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
32:004:002 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD,
was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?
Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou
art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
32:004:003 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me;
for it is better for me to die than to live.
32:004:004 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
32:004:005 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.
32:004:006 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.
32:004:007 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day,
and it smote the gourd that it withered.
32:004:008 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.
32:004:009 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.
32:004:010 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:
32:004:011 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are
more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern
between their right hand and their left hand; and also much
cattle?
