Jonah 4:6-8
English Standard Version
6 Now the Lord God appointed a plant[a] and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort.[b] So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching (A)east wind, (B)and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he (C)was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, (D)“It is better for me to die than to live.”
