Jonah 4:9 Context
7But God prepared a worme when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 8And it came to passe when the Sunne did arise, that God prepared a vehement East wind; and the Sunne beat vpon the head of Ionah, that hee fainted, and wished in himselfe to die, and said, It is better for me to die, then to liue. 9And God said to Ionah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? and he said, I doe well to be angry, euen vnto death. 10Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pitie on the gourde, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow, which came vp in a night, and perished in a night: 11And should not I spare Nineueh that great citie, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons, that cannot discerne betweene their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattell?
