Jon 4, 1-11

1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray you, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent you of the evil. 3 "Therefore now, O LORD, take, I plead to you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. " 4 Then said the LORD, Do you 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 stroke 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, Do you well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. 10 "Then said the LORD, You have had pity on the gourd, for the which you have not laboured, neither made 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 then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? "

Joe 2:13 - And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.

Jon 4,2 - Pozri pozn. k 1,3.

Jon 4,3 - Podobnú žiadosť vyslovil aj prorok Eliáš, 1 Kr 19,4 n.

Jon 4,4 - Boh chce, aby Jonáš uvažoval a sám prišiel na to, že sa neprávom hnevá.

Jon 4,6 - Ricínus (Ricinus communis) je ker, ktorý rastie v Egypte, Sýrii, Perzii, v západnej a južnej Anatolii (Malej Ázii) a Grécku. Je 1 až 4 m vysoký, má široké listy, ktoré dávajú dobrý tieň. Rýchlo rastie, ale aj rýchlo vädne. Pritom všetkom je však prípad Jonášovho ricínu zázračný, lebo prirodzeným spôsobom ricín predsa len nerastie a nehynie tak rýchlo ako tento.
