Jonah 4:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ When the sun rose, God appointed a sultry east wind, and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah so that he was faint; and he asked that he might die, and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” ⁹ But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?”^[a] And he said, “I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.” ¹⁰ And the Lord said, “You pity the plant,^[b] for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night, and perished in a night.
