    1But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry.

    2And he prayed to the LORD, saying, 'O LORD, isn’t this what I said while I was still in my own land? That is why I tried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from sending calamity.

    3Now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.

    4But the LORD said, 'Is it right for you to be angry?'

    5Jonah then went out of the city and sat east of it. There he made himself a shelter and sat under its shade, waiting to see what would happen to the city.

    7But at dawn the next day, God appointed a worm, which attacked the plant so that it withered.

    8When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wished to die and said, 'It is better for me to die than to live.'

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

    2Arise, go to the great city of Nineveh, and proclaim against it, because their wickedness has come up before me.

    3But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, found a ship going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and boarded it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

    4But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was about to break apart.

    5The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his own god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down to the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep.

    6The captain came to him and said, "What are you doing, sound asleep? Get up, call on your god! Perhaps your god will consider us, so that we will not perish."

    7And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity that has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

    8Then they said to him, "Please tell us! Who is responsible for causing this trouble for us? What is your occupation, and where do you come from? What is your country, and of what people are you?"
