4:1 | But it displeased <03415> (8799) Jonah <03124> exceedingly <01419> <07451>, and he was very angry <02734> (8799). | 4:2 | And he prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), I pray <0577> thee, O LORD <03068>, [was] not this my saying <01697>, when I was yet in my country <0127>? Therefore I fled <01272> (8800) before <06923> (8765) unto Tarshish <08659>: for I knew <03045> (8804) that thou [art] a gracious <02587> God <0410>, and merciful <07349>, slow <0750> to anger <0639>, and of great <07227> kindness <02617>, and repentest <05162> (8737) thee of the evil <07451>. | 4:3 | Therefore now, O LORD <03068>, take <03947> (8798), I beseech thee, my life <05315> from me; for [it is] better <02896> for me to die <04194> than to live <02416>. | 4:4 | Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068>, Doest thou well <03190> (8687) to be angry <02734> (8804)? {Doest...: or, Art thou greatly angry?} | 4:5 | So Jonah <03124> went out <03318> (8799) of the city <05892>, and sat <03427> (8799) on the east side <06924> of the city <05892>, and there made <06213> (8799) him a booth <05521>, and sat <03427> (8799) under it in the shadow <06738>, till he might see <07200> (8799) what would become of the city <05892>. | 4:6 | And the LORD <03068> God <0430> prepared <04487> (8762) a gourd <07021>, and made [it] to come up <05927> (8799) over Jonah <03124>, that it might be a shadow <06738> over his head <07218>, to deliver <05337> (8687) him from his grief <07451>. So Jonah <03124> was exceeding <01419> <08057> glad <08055> (8799) of the gourd <07021>. {gourd: or, palmcrist: Heb. Kikajon} {was...: Heb. rejoiced with great joy} | 4:7 | But God <0430> prepared <04487> (8762) a worm <08438> when the morning <07837> rose <05927> (8800) the next day <04283>, and it smote <05221> (8686) the gourd <07021> that it withered <03001> (8799). | 4:8 | And it came to pass, when the sun <08121> did arise <02224> (8800), that God <0430> prepared <04487> (8762) a vehement <02759> east <06921> wind <07307>; and the sun <08121> beat <05221> (8686) upon the head <07218> of Jonah <03124>, that he fainted <05968> (8691), and wished <07592> (8799) in himself <05315> to die <04191> (8800), and said <0559> (8799), [It is] better <02896> for me to die <04194> than to live <02416>. {vehement: or, silent} | 4:9 | And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) to Jonah <03124>, Doest thou well <03190> (8687) to be angry <02734> (8804) for the gourd <07021>? And he said <0559> (8799), I do well <03190> (8687) to be angry <02734> (8804), [even] unto death <04194>. {Doest...: or, Art thou greatly angry?} {I do well...: or, I am greatly angry} | 4:10 | Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068>, Thou hast had pity <02347> (8804) on the gourd <07021>, for the which thou hast not laboured <05998> (8804), neither madest it grow <01431> (8765); which came up in a night <01121> <03915>, and perished <06> (8804) in a night <01121> <03915>: {had pity: or, spared} {came...: Heb. was the son of the night} | 4:11 | And should not I spare <02347> (8799) Nineveh <05210>, that great <01419> city <05892>, wherein are <03426> more <07235> (8687) than sixscore <08147> <06240> thousand <07239> persons <0120> that cannot discern <03045> (8804) between their right hand <03225> and their left hand <08040>; and [also] much <07227> cattle <0929>? |
