NASB
"Then God said to Jonah, "Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "I have good reason to be angry, even to death.""
— Jonah 4:9, NASB
“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.”
“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. ”
“God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death."”
“God said to Jonah,“Are you really so very angry about the little plant?” And he said,“I am as angry as I could possibly be!””
“And the Lord said to Jonah: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry, for the ivy? And he said: I am angry with reason even unto death.”
“And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry.”
“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.”
So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah was extremely happy about the plant.
But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.
When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, "Death is better to me than life."
Then God said to Jonah, "Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "I have good reason to be angry, even to death."
Then the LORD said, "You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight.
"Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?"
