Jonah 4:1, 3-4, 9-11

But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry.

Therefore now, O LORD, just take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” Then the LORD said, “Do you have a good reason to be angry?”

Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have a good reason to be angry about [the loss of] the plant?” And he said, “I have a [very] good reason to be angry, angry enough to die!” Then the LORD said, “You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight. Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 [innocent] persons, who do not know the difference between their right and left hand [and are not yet accountable for sin], as well as many [blameless] animals?”
