BUT it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023496">2</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023497">3</a>. Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023498">4</a>. Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023499">5</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023500">6</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023501">7</a>. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023502">8</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023503">9</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023504">10</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023505">11</a>. And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?</li>
