8And 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!'
9But God said to Jonah, 'Do you have a good reason to be angry about the plant?' And he said, 'I have good reason to be angry, even to the point of death!'
King James Version

And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
