Jonah 4:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind. The sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, so he said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”

⁹ But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”

Jonah said, “I do have a right to be angry—angry enough to die!”

¹⁰ So the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant. You did not work for it or make it grow. It grew up in one night and perished after one night.
