Jonah 4:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ So the Lord God designated a ^[a]plant, and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head, to ^[b]relieve him of his discomfort. And Jonah ^[c]was overjoyed about the plant. ⁷ But God designated a worm when dawn came the next day, and it attacked the plant and it ^(A)withered. ⁸ And when the sun came up God designated a scorching ^(B)east wind, and the ^(C)sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint, and he begged with all his soul to die, saying, “^(D)Death is better to me than life!”
