ng which smote the wild vine that it withered away. And as soon
as the son was up, God prepared a fervent east wind: so that the son
beat over the head of Jonas, that he fainted again and wished unto his
soul that he might die, and said, it is better for me to die than to
live.

And God said unto Jonas, art thou so angry for thy wild vine?
And he said, I am angry a good, even on to the death. And the lord
said, thou hast compassion on a wild vine, whereon thou bestowedest no
labour nor made it grow, which sprang up in one night and perished in
another: and should not I have compassion on Nineve that great city,
wherein there is a multitude of people, even above an hundred thousand
that know not their right hand from the left, besides much cattle?
