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

die than to live. |

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: |
|
|
|
|
JNAH 4:11

wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their
right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? |
