Jonah 4:6-10

Jonah 4:6-10

[6] And the LORD  God  prepared  a gourd,  and made it to come up  over Jonah,  that it might be a shadow  over his head,  to deliver  him from his grief.  So Jonah  was exceeding  glad  of the gourd.  [7] But God  prepared  a worm  when the morning  rose  the next day,  and it smote  the gourd  that it withered.  [8] And it came to pass, when the sun  did arise,  that God  prepared  a vehement  east  wind;  and the sun  beat  upon the head  of Jonah,  that he fainted,  and wished  in himself  to die,  and said,  It is better  than to live.  [9] And God  said  to Jonah,  Doest thou well  to be angry  for the gourd?  And he said,  I do well  to be angry,  even unto death.  [10] Then said  the LORD,  Thou hast had pity  on the gourd,  for the which thou hast not laboured,  neither madest it grow;  which came up in a night,  and perished  in a night:
