4BUT IT displeased Jonah exceedingly and he was very angry.H3415H3124H1419H7451H27342And he prayed to the Lord and said, I pray You, O Lord, is not this just what I said when I was still in my country? That is why I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness, and [when sinners turn to You and meet Your conditions] You revoke the [sentence of] evil against them.H6419H3068H559H577H3068H1697H127H1272H6923H8659H3045H2587H410H7349H750H639H7227H2617H5162H74513Therefore now, O Lord, I beseech You, take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.H3068H3947H5315H2896H4194H24164Then said the Lord, Do you do well to be angry?H559H3068H3190H27345So Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city, and he made a booth there for himself. He sat there under it in the shade till he might see what would become of the city.H3124H3318H5892H3427H6924H5892H6213H5521H3427H6738H7200H58926And the Lord God prepared a gourd and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his evil situation. So Jonah was exceedingly glad [to have the protection] of the gourd.H3068H430H4487H7021H5927H3124H6738H7218H5337H7451H3124H1419H8057H8055H70217But God prepared a cutworm when the morning dawned the next day, and it smote the gourd so that it withered.H430H4487H8438H7837H5927H4283H5221H7021H30018And when the sun arose, God prepared a sultry east wind, and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah so that he fainted and wished in himself to die and said, It is better for me to die than to live.H8121H2224H430H4487H2759H6921H7307H8121H5221H7218H3124H5968H7592H5315H4191H559H2896H4194H24169And God said to Jonah, Do you do well to be angry for the loss of the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die!H430H559H3124H3190H2734H7021H559H3190H2734H419410Then said the Lord, You have had pity on the gourd, for which you have not labored nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night.H559H3068H2347H7021H5998H1431H1121H3915H6H1121H391511And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons not [yet old enough to] know their right hand from their left, and also many cattle [not accountable for sin]?H2347H5210H1419H5892H3426H7235H8147H6240H7239H120H3045H3225H8040H7227H929
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
