== Yonah (Book of Jonah), Chapter 4 ==
<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> And he prayed unto HaShem, and said: 'I pray Thee, O HaShem, was not this my saying, when I was yet in mine own country? Therefore I fled beforehand unto Tarshish; for I knew that Thou art a gracious G-d, and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repentest Thee of the evil.
<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> Therefore now, O HaShem, take, I beseech Thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.'
<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> And HaShem said: 'Art thou greatly angry?'
<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> Then 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.
<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> And HaShem G-d 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 evil. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.
<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> But G-d prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.
<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that G-d prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said: 'It is better for me to die than to live.'
<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> And G-d said to Jonah: 'Art thou greatly angry for the gourd?' And he said: 'I am greatly angry, even unto death.'
<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> And HaShem said: 'Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night;
<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> and should not I have pity on 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?'
