And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.

Και καθως ανετειλεν ο ηλιος, διεταξεν ο Θεος ανεμον ανατολικον καυστικον· και προσεβαλεν ο ηλιος επι την κεφαλην του Ιωνα, ωστε ωλιγοψυχησε· και εζητησεν εν τη ψυχη αυτου να αποθανη, και ειπεν, Ειναι καλλιον εις εμε να αποθανω παρα να ζω.

And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
