1	這事約拿大大不悅，且甚發怒，
			But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
		2	就禱告耶和華說：「耶和華啊，我在本國的時候豈不是這樣說嗎？我知道你是有恩典、有憐憫的神，不輕易發怒，有豐盛的慈愛，並且後悔不降所說的災，所以我急速逃往他施去。
			And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
		3	耶和華啊，現在求你取我的命吧！因為我死了比活著還好。」
			Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for better for me to die than to live.
		4	耶和華說：「你這樣發怒合乎理嗎？」
			Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
		5	於是約拿出城，坐在城的東邊，在那裡為自己搭了一座棚，坐在棚的蔭下，要看看那城究竟如何。
			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.
		6	耶和華 神安排一棵蓖麻，使其發生高過約拿，影兒遮蓋他的頭，救他脫離苦楚；約拿因這棵蓖麻大大喜樂。
			And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made 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.
		7	次日黎明，神卻安排一條蟲子咬這蓖麻，以致枯槁。
			But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
		8	日頭出來的時候，神安排炎熱的東風，日頭曝曬約拿的頭，使他發昏，他就為自己求死，說：「我死了比活著還好！」
			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, better for me to die than to live.
		9	神對約拿說：「你因這棵蓖麻發怒合乎理嗎？」他說：「我發怒以至於死，都合乎理！」
			And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, unto death.
		10	耶和華說：「這蓖麻不是你栽種的，也不是你培養的；一夜發生，一夜乾死，你尚且愛惜；
			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:
		11	何況這尼尼微大城，其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二萬多人，並有許多牲畜，我豈能不愛惜呢？」
			And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and much cattle?
