1 Jonahwas really upset and angry. 2 Ex 34.6.So he prayed:
Our Lord, I knew from the very beginning that you wouldn’t destroy Nineveh. That’s why I left my own country and headed for Spain. You are a kind and merciful God, and you are very patient. You always show love, and you don’t like to punish anyone.
3 1 K 19.4.Now let me die! I’d be better off dead.
4 The Lordreplied, "What right do you have to be angry?"
5 Jonahthen left through the east gate of the city and made a shelter to protect himself from the sun. He sat under the shelter, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.
6 The Lordmade a vine grow up to shade Jonah’s head and protect him from the sun. Jonahwas very happy to have the vine, 7 but early the next morning the Lordsent a worm to chew on the vine, and the vine dried up. 8 During the day the Lordsent a scorching wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head, making him feel faint. Jonahwas ready to die, and he shouted, "I wish I were dead!"
9 But the Lordasked, "Jonah, do you have the right to be angry about the vine?"
"Yes, I do," he answered, "and I’m angry enough to die."
10 But the Lordsaid:
You are concerned about a vine that you did not plant or take care of, a vine that grew up in one night and died the next. 11 In that city of Ninevehthere are more than 120,000 people who cannot tell right from wrong, and many cattle are also there. Don’t you think I should be concerned about that big city?
