Jonah 4:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life [a]from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be [b]angry?
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the East side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow [c]till he might see what should be done in the city.

- Jonah 4:4 Wilt thou be judge when I do things for my glory, and when I do not?
- Jonah 4:5 For he doubted as yet whether God would show them mercy or not, and therefore after forty days he departed out of the city, looking what issue God would send.
