Jonah 4:7-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. but early the next morning the Lord sent a worm to chew on the vine, and the vine dried up.

8. During the day the Lord sent a scorching wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head, making him feel faint. Jonah was ready to die, and he shouted, “I wish I were dead!”

9. But the Lord asked, “Jonah, do you have the right to be angry about the vine?”“Yes, I do,” he answered, “and I'm angry enough to die.”

10. But the Lord said:You are concerned about a vine that you did not plant or take care of, a vine that grew up in one night and died the next.
