  1. Jonah 1:1-2
  2. The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
  3.  
  4. Jonah 3:1-2
  5. Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
  6.  
  7. Jonah 4:1-4
  8. But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
  9.  
  10. 4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
  11.  
  12. Jonah 4:8-11
  13. 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”
  14.  
  15. 9 But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”
  16.  
  17. “It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.”
  18.  
  19. 10 But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. 11 And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”
