1: But it displeasedH7489 toH0413 JonahH3124 exceedinglyH7451 greatly,H1419 and became angryH2734

2: So he prayedH6419 toH0413 YahwehH3069 and said,H0559 Ah,H0577 YahwehH3069 was notH3808 thisH2088 what I said,H1697 when stillH5704 I wasH1961 inH5921 my country?H0127 ofH5921 thereforeH3651 IH6923 fled previouslyH1272 to Tarshish,H8659 forH3588 I knowH3045 thatH3588 You [are]H0859 God,H0410 a graciousH2587 and merciful,H7349 slowH0750 to anger,H0639 and abundantH7227 in lovingkindness,H2617 and one who relentsH5162 fromH5921 doing harm.H7451

3: Therefore now,H6258 Yahweh,H3068 take,H3947 please,H4994 -H0853 my lifeH5315 from meH4480 forH3588 [it is] betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to live.H2416

4: And saidH0559 Yahweh,H3068 [is it] rightH3190 to be angryH2734

5: so went outH3318 JonahH3124 ofH4480 the city,H5892 and satH3427 on the east [side]H6924 of the city,H5892 and he madeH6213 thereH8033 a shelter,H5521 and satH3427 under itH8478 in the shade,H6738 untilH5704 tillH0834 he might seeH7200 whatH4100 would becomeH1961 of the city.H5892

6: And preparedH4487 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 a plant,H7021 and made it come upH5927 overH5921 over Jonah,H3124 that it might beH1961 shadeH6738 forH5921 his head,H7218 to deliverH5337 from his misery.H7451 So was gratefulH8055 JonahH3124 forH5921 the plantH7021 gladH8056 very.H1419

7: But preparedH4487 GodH0430 a wormH8438 as dawnedH5927 morningH7837 the next day,H4283 and it [so] damagedH5221 -H0853 the plantH7021 that it withered.H3001

8: And it came to pass,H1961 when arose,H2224 the sunH8121 that preparedH4487 GodH0430 a wind-H7307 eastH6921 vehementH2759 and beatH5221 the sunH8121 onH5921 headH7218 of Jonah,H3124 so that he grew faint,H5968 and he wishedH7592 -H0853 for himselfH5315 death,H4191 and said,H0559 [it is] betterH2896 for me to dieH4191 than to live.H2416

9: And saidH0559 GodH0430 toH0413 Jonah,H3124 [is it] rightH3190 to be angryH2734 aboutH5921 the plant?H7021 and he said,H0559 [it is] rightH3190 to be angry,H2734 even toH5704 death.H4194

10: But saidH0559 Yahweh,H3068 YouH0859 have had pityH2347 onH5921 the plant,H7021 for whichH0834 notH3808 you have labored,H5998 norH3808 made it grow-H1431 which inH1121 a night,H3915 came upH1961 and inH1121 a night-H3915 perished.H0006

11: And IH0589 notH3808 should pityH2347 onH5921 Nineveh,H5210 the city,H5892 greatH1419 in whichH0834 areH3426 moreH7235 than twoH8147 [and] ten [times]H6240 ten thousandH7239 personsH0120 whoH0834 cannotH3808 discernH3045 betweenH0996 their right handH3225 and their left-H8040 and livestockH0929 much?H7227
