Jonah 4:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹ But God said to Jonah, “Do you have a good reason to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “I have good reason to be angry, even to the point of death!” ¹⁰ Then the Lord said, “You had compassion on the plant, for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which ^[a]came up overnight and perished ^[b]overnight. ¹¹ Should I not also ^(A)have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 people, who do not ^(B)know the difference between their right hand and their left, as well as many ^(C)animals?”
