Jonah 4:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ But God said this to Jonah: “Do you think it is right for you to be angry because of the plant?”

Jonah answered, “It is right for me to be angry! I will stay angry until I die!”

¹⁰ And the Lord said, “You showed concern for that plant. But you did not plant it or make it grow. It appeared in the night, and the next day it died. ¹¹ Then surely I can show concern for the great city Nineveh. There are many animals in that city. And there are more than 120,000 people living there. Those people simply do not know right from wrong!”
