Jonah 4:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ The Lord made a plant grow quickly up over Jonah. This made a cool place for him to sit. And it helped him to be more comfortable. Jonah was very pleased to have the plant for shade. ⁷ The next day the sun rose. And God sent a worm to attack the plant. Then the plant died.

⁸ When the sun was high in the sky, God sent a hot east wind to blow. The sun became very hot on Jonah’s head. And he became very weak. He wished he were dead. Jonah said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
