Jonah 4:8-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ When the sun came up God appointed a scorching ^(A)east wind, and the ^(B)sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, “^(C)Death is better to me than life.”

⁹ Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “I have good reason to be angry, even to death.” ¹⁰ Then the Lord said, “You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which ^[a]came up overnight and perished ^[b]overnight.
