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

    2 And 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.

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

    4 And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?

    5 Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.

    6 And 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.

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

    8 Then 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.

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

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

    3 And 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.

    4 And 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.

    5 Then 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.

    6 And 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.

    7 And 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.

    8 Then 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?
