b'Then the Lord said, \\u201c Is it right for you to be angry?\\u201d So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city. And the Lord God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant. But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered. And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah\\u2019s head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, \\u201c It is better for me to die than to live.\\u201d Then God said to Jonah, \\u201c Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?\\u201d And he said, \\u201c It is right for me to be angry, even to death!\\u201d But the Lord said, \\u201cYou have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left\\u2014and much livestock?\\u201d\\nJonah 4:4\\u202d-\\u202c11 NKJV\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support'
