    6And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.

    7But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.

    8Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.

    9And 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.

    10And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;

    1But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.

    2And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.

    3So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.

    1And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

    2Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.

    3And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

    4And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.

    5Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep.

    6And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.

    7And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.

    8Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?

    1And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

    2Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.

    3So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.

    4And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.

    5And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.

    6And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.

    7And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:
