Jonah 4:7-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
7
But God designated a worm when dawn came the next day, and it attacked the plant and it withered.
8
And when the sun came up God designated a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he became faint, and he begged with
all
his soul to die, saying, 'Death is better to me than life!'
King James Version
Chapter 4
7
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
8
And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
