Now the word of LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What do thou mean, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we not perish.

When my soul fainted within me, I remembered LORD. And my prayer came in to thee, into thy holy temple.

And the word of LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,

And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind, and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live

And LORD said, Thou have had regard for the gourd, for which thou have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
