1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

2 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.

<>O LORD … thou art a gracious God, <>O LORD … thou art … merciful, <>country, <>thou art a gracious God … slow to anger

3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

<>it is better for me to die than to live, <>die

4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

<>Doest thou well to be angry?

5 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.

<>the city … the city … the city, <>in the shadow

6 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.

<>the LORD God prepared a gourd … over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, <>to deliver him

7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

<>God prepared a worm … and it smote the gourd that it withered., <>worm

8 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.

<>the sun did arise, <>the sun … the sun, <>the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, <>fainted

9 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.

<>angry, even unto death

10 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:

<>neither madest it grow, <>came up in a night, and perished in a night, <>perished

11 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?

<>should not I spare … much cattle?, <>cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, <>and also much cattle
