Jonah 4:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995

6 So the Lord God appointed a [a]plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah was [b]extremely happy about the [c]plant. 7 But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it (A)withered. 8 When the sun came up God appointed a scorching (B)east wind, and the (C)sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, “(D)Death is better to me than life.”
