drink water:
[8] But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them
turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
[9] Who can tell if God will
turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
[10] And God saw their works,
that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto
them; and he did it not.
Jonah.4
[1] But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
[2] And he prayed unto the LORD, and
said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before
unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness,
and repentest thee of the evil.
[3] Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it
is better for me to die than to live.
[4] Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
[5] 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] And the LORD God prepared a gourd,
and made it 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] But God prepared a worm when the morning rose
the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
[8] 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, It is better for me to die than to live.
[9] And God said to Jonah,
Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
[10]
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] 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 also much cattle?
