Jonah
4 from Scroll 4Q82 Minor Prophetsg
5 Then
Jonah went out of the
city, and sat on the east side of the
city, and there made himself a booth,
and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city. 6 The
Lord Yahweh God prepared a vine, and
made it to come up over Jonah, that it might
be a shade over his head, to
deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly
glad because of the vine.
7 But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so
that it withered. 8 When the sun arose, God prepared a sultry east wind;
and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is
better for me to die than to live.”
9 God
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.”
10 Yahweh 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.
11 Shouldn’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 much livestock?”
Jonah
4 from Scroll Nahal Hever Greek Minor Prophets
1 But it
displeased Jonah
exceedingly, and
he was angry. 2 He prayed to Yahweh,
and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that
you are a gracious God, and
merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of
doing harm.

said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I
hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and
merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you
relent of doing harm. 3 Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I
beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.”

right for you to be angry?”
