Jonah 4
4
1But it displeased Yonah [dove] exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2And he prayed unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said, I pray youi, O Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish [yellow jasper]: for I knew that youi [are] a gracious God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent youi of the evil.
3Therefore now, O Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), take, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, my life from me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
4Then said the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Do youi well to be angry?
5So Yonah [dove] went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
6And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] prepared a gourd, and made [it] to come up over Yonah [dove], that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Yonah [dove] was exceeding glad of the gourd.
7But God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it struck the gourd that it withered.
8And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] prepared a vehement (violent; forceful; furious) east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Yonah [dove], that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, [It is] better for me to die than to live.
9And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said to Yonah [dove], Do youi well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death.
10Then said the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi have had pity on the gourd, for the which youi have not laboured, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
11And should not I spare Nineveh [abode of Ninus, or Offspring’s Habitation], that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and [also] much cattle?
