Jonah 4:6 in Context — Jonah 4
4 L’Éternel répondit: Fais-tu bien de t’irriter?
5 Et Jonas sortit de la ville, et s’assit à l’orient de la ville, là il se fit une cabane, et s’y tint à l’ombre, jusqu’à ce qu’il vît ce qui arriverait dans la ville.
6 L’Éternel Dieu fit croître un ricin, qui s’éleva au-dessus de Jonas, pour donner de l’ombre sur sa tête et pour lui ôter son irritation. Jonas éprouva une grande joie à cause de ce ricin.
7 Mais le lendemain, à l’aurore, Dieu fit venir un ver qui piqua le ricin, et le ricin sécha.
8 Au lever du soleil, Dieu fit souffler un vent chaud d’orient, et le soleil frappa la tête de Jonas, au point qu’il tomba en défaillance. Il demanda la mort, et dit: La mort m’est préférable à la vie.
