4:5 Jonah left the city and sat down east 1 of it. 2 He made a shelter for himself there and sat down under it in the shade to see what would happen to the city. 3 4:6 The Lord God appointed 4 a little plant 5 and caused it to grow up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to rescue 6 him from his misery. 7 Now Jonah was very delighted 8 about the little plant.
4:7 So God sent 9 a worm at dawn the next day, and it attacked the little plant so that it dried up. 4:8 When the sun began to shine, God sent 10 a hot 11 east wind. So the sun beat down 12 on Jonah’s head, and he grew faint. So he despaired of life, 13 and said, “I would rather die than live!” 14
