Jonah 4:7      Jonah 4:9

Jonah 4:8

When the sun rose, God (Elohim) had prepared a scorching east wind. The sun beat down on Jonah's head, and he was close to fainting. Then he wished for death and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
[These verses mention the small tree, the worm, the sun, and the east wind. What they have in common is that it was God who sent them, just as he had previously sent the storm and the fish, see Jonah 1:4; 2:1.]
