American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. But it displeased[H3415] Jonah[H3124] exceedingly[H1419], and he was angry[H2734].

2. And he prayed[H6419] unto Jehovah[H3068], and said[H559], I pray[H577] thee[H3068], O Jehovah, was not this my saying[H1697], when I was yet in my country[H127]? Therefore I hasted[H1272] to[H6923] flee unto Tarshish[H8659]; for I knew[H3045] that thou art a gracious[H2587] God[H410], and merciful[H7349], slow[H750] to anger[H639], and abundant[H7227] in lovingkindness[H2617], and repentest[H5162] thee of the evil[H7451].

3. Therefore now[H3068], O Jehovah, take[H3947], I beseech thee[H5315], my life from me[H2896]; for it is better for me to die[H4194] than to live[H2416].

4. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559], Doest thou well[H3190] to be angry[H2734]?

5. Then Jonah[H3124] went out[H3318] of the city[H5892], and sat[H3427] on the east side[H6924] of the city[H5892], and there made[H6213] him a booth[H5521], and sat[H3427] under it in the shade[H6738], till he might see[H7200] what would become of the city[H5892].

6. And Jehovah[H3068] God[H430] prepared[H4487] a gourd[H7021], and made it to come up[H5927] over Jonah[H3124], that it might be a shade[H6738] over his head[H7218], to deliver[H5337] him from his evil[H7451] case[H3124]. So Jonah was exceeding[H1419] glad[H8055] because of the gourd[H7021].

7. But God[H430] prepared[H4487] a worm[H8438] when the morning[H7837] rose[H5927] the next day[H4283], and it smote[H5221] the gourd[H7021], that it withered[H3001].

8. And it came to pass[H8121], when the sun arose[H2224], that God[H430] prepared[H4487] a sultry[H2759] east[H6921] wind[H7307]; and the sun[H8121] beat[H5221] upon the head[H7218] of Jonah[H3124], that he fainted[H5968], and requested[H7592] for himself[H5315] that he might die[H4191], and said[H559], It is better[H2896] for me to die[H4194] than to live[H2416].

9. And God[H430] said[H559] to Jonah[H3124], Doest thou well[H3190] to be angry[H2734] for the gourd[H7021]? And he said[H559], I do well[H3190] to be angry[H2734], even unto death[H4194].

10. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559], Thou hast had regard[H2347] for the gourd[H7021], for which thou hast not labored[H5998], neither madest it grow[H1431]; which came up in a night[H1121], and perished[H6] in a night[H1121]:

11. and should not I have regard[H2347] for Nineveh[H5210], that great[H1419] city[H5892], wherein are[H3426] more[H7235] than sixscore[H8147] thousand[H7239] persons[H120] that cannot discern[H3045] between their right hand[H3225] and their left hand[H8040]; and also much[H7227] cattle[H929]?
