ત્યારે ઈશ્વરે યૂનાને કહ્યું, “છોડના લીધે તું અતિ ક્રોધિત છે તે શું સારું છે?”
हिन्दीयोना ४:९
परमेश्वर ने योना से कहा, “तेरा क्रोध, जो रेंड़ के पेड़ के कारण भड़का है, क्या वह उचित है?” उसने कहा, “हाँ, मेरा जो क्रोध भड़का है वह अच्छा ही है, वरन् क्रोध के मारे मरना भी अच्छा होता।”

In context

7But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine so that it withered.

8When the sun arose, God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he was faint and requested for himself that he might die. He said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”

9God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?” He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.”

10The LORD said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night and perished in a night.

11Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many animals?”
