Jonah 4:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 but early the next morning the Lord sent a worm to chew on the vine, and the vine dried up. 8 During the day the Lord sent a scorching wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head, making him feel faint. Jonah was ready to die, and he shouted, “I wish I were dead!”
9 But the Lord asked, “Jonah, do you have the right to be angry about the vine?”
“Yes, I do,” he answered, “and I'm angry enough to die.”

7 But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered.(A) 8 When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die,(B) and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”

“It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.”
