Thematic Bible: Jonah, because the gourd withered


Thematic Bible



But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry. And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.

And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?

And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry.
