Jonah 4:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ But at dawn the next day, God ordained that a worm should infest the gourd plant, and it withered. ⁸ Then, when the sun rose, God ordained that a scorching wind should blow from the east. The sun beat down on the head of Jonah to such an extent that he grew faint. Then he begged that he might die, saying, “I would be better off dead than alive.”

⁹ God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” Jonah replied, “I have every reason to be angry, angry enough to die.”
