Chap. IIII.
The prophet lamenteth for that he was commanded to preach otherwise
then it came to passe. 5. Going forth he stayeth nere the citie to see the end;
6. an yuie growing couereth his head from the sunne; 7. but withereth
the next day; 8. & he lamenting desireth to dye; 10. and God sheweth
that it is more meete to saue Niniue then the yuie.
1 And Ionas note was afflicted with great affliction, and was note
angrie:
2 and he prayed to our Lord, and sayd: I besech
thee รด Lord, Why, is not this my word, when I was yet in my
countrie? for this did I preuent to flee into Tharsis. For I
know that thou art a clement, and merciful God, patient, and
of much compassion, and forgeuing vpon the euil.
3 And now
Lord take I besech thee my soule from me: because better is
death to me then life.
4 And our Lord sayd: Art thou angrie
wel thinkest thou?
5 And Ionas went out of the citie, and sate
against the East part of the citie: and he made himself a bowre
there, and he sate vnder it in the shadow, til he might see what
would befal to the citie.
6 And our Lord God prepared an iuie
tree, & it came vp ouer the head of Ionas, to be a shadow ouer
-- --
his head, and to couer him: for he had laboured: and Ionas
reioyced vpon the iuie with great ioy.
7 And God prepared a
worme in the rysing of the morning against the morrow: and
it stroke the iuie, and it withered.
8 And when the sunne was
risen, our Lord commanded an hotte, and burning winde: and
the sunne beate vpon the head of Ionas, and he broyled for
heate: and he desired for his soule to dye, and sayd: It is better
for me to dye then to liue.
9 And our Lord sayd to Ionas: Art
thou angrie wel, thinkest thou, for the iuie? And he sayd: note I
am note angrie wel euen vnto death.
10 And our Lord sayd: Thou
art sorie for the iuie, wherin thou hast not laboured, nor made
it to grow, which in one night came forth, and in one night is
perished.
11 And shal not I spare Niniue the great citie, wherin
are more then a hundred twentie thousand men, that know
not what is betwen their right hand and their left, and manie
beastes?
