Jonah 4:4 CPDV

²  And he prayed to the Lord, and he said, 'I beg you, Lord, was this not my word, when I was still in my own land? Because of this, I knew beforehand to flee into Tarshish. For I know that you are a lenient and merciful God, patient and great in compassion, and forgiving despite ill will.

³  And now, Lord, I ask you to take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.'

⁴  And the Lord said, 'Do you really think you are right to be angry?'

⁵  And Jonah went out of the city, and he sat opposite the east of the city. And he made himself a shelter there, and he was sitting under it in the shadow, until he might see what would befall the city.

⁶  And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it ascended over the head of Jonah so as to be a shadow over his head, and to protect him (for he had labored hard). And Jonah rejoiced because of the ivy, with great rejoicing.
