5 Jonahwent out of the city and sat to the east of the city and [Neh. 8:15]made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. 6 Now the LordGod appointed a plant4:6 Hebrew qiqayon, probably the castor oil plant; also verses 7, 9, 10and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort.4:6 Or his evilSo Jonahwas exceedingly glad because of the plant. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching Jer. 18:17east wind, [Ps. 121:6] and the sun beat down on the head of Jonahso that he [Amos 8:13] was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, [See ver. 3above]"It is better for me to die than to live." 9 But God said to Jonah, [ver. 1, 4]"Do you do well to be angry for the plant?" And he said, "Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die." 10 And the Lordsaid, "You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity See ch. 1:2Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much [ch. 3:7]cattle?"
