Jonah 4:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh. ⁶ Then the Lord God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant. ⁷ But at dawn the next day, at God's command, a worm attacked the plant, and it died.
