32:003:008 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth,
and cry
mightily
unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his
evil
way,
and from the violence that is in their hands.
32:003:009 Who can tell if God will turn and repent,
and turn away from
his
fierce anger, that we perish not?
32:003:010 And God saw their works, that they turned
from their evil way;
and
God repented of the evil, that he had said that he
would
do
unto them; and he did it not.
32:004:001 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
32:004:002 And he prayed unto the lord, and said,
I pray thee, O lord,
was
not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?
Therefore
I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou
art
a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great
kindness,
and repentest thee of the evil.
32:004:003 Therefore now, O lord, take, I beseech
thee, my life from me;
for
it is better for me to die than to live.
32:004:004 Then said the lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
32:004:005 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat
on the east side of the
city,
and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the
shadow,
till he might see what would become of the city.
32:004:006 And the lord God prepared a gourd,
and made it to come up over
Jonah,
that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver
him
from
his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the
gourd.
32:004:007 But God prepared a worm when the morning
rose the next day,
and
it smote the gourd that it withered.
32:004:008 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.
32:004:009 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well
to be angry for the
gourd?
And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
32:004:010 Then said the lord, Thou hast had
pity on the gourd, for the
which
thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which
came
up in a night, and perished in a night:
32:004:011 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great
city, wherein are
more
then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern
between
their right hand and their left hand; and also much
cattle?
Book 33 Micah
33:001:001 The word of the lord that came to
Micah the Morasthite in the
days
of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which
he
saw
concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
