4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.
4:2 So he prayed to the LORD, and said, ''Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.
4:3 ''Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!''
4:4 Then the LORD said, ''Is it right for you to be angry?''
4:5 So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
4:6 And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.
4:7 But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered.
4:8 And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, ''It is better for me to die than to live.''
4:9 Then God said to Jonah, ''Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?'' And he said, ''It is right for me to be angry, even to death!''

4:11 ''And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left - and much livestock?''
