Jonah 4:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ But at dawn the next day, at God's command, a worm attacked the plant, and it died. ⁸ After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead.^[a] “I am better off dead than alive,” he said.

⁹ But God said to him, “What right do you have to be angry about the plant?”

Jonah replied, “I have every right to be angry—angry enough to die!”
