《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

人与牲畜都当披上麻布，人要切切求告神。各人回头离开所行的恶道，丢弃手中的强暴。But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

左咡

或者神转意后悔，不发烈怒，使我们不致灭亡，也未可知。Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

左咡

于是神察看他们的行为，见他们离开恶道，他就后悔，不把所说的灾祸降与他们了。And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

左咡

[BR]这事约拿大大不悦，且甚发怒。But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
[BR] 
[BR] 
[BR]4：1

左咡

就祷告耶和华说，耶和华阿，我在本国的时候，岂不是这样说吗。我知道你是有恩典，有怜悯的神，不轻易发怒，有丰盛的慈爱，并且后悔不降所说的灾，所以我急速逃往他施去。And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

左咡

耶和华阿，现在求你取我的命吧。因为我死了比活着还好。Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live

左咡

耶和华说，你这样发怒合乎理吗。Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

左咡

于是约拿出城，坐在城的东边，在那里为自己搭了一座棚，坐在棚的荫下，要看看那城究竟如何。So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

左咡

耶和华神安排一棵蓖麻，使其发生高过约拿，影儿遮盖他的头，救他脱离苦楚。约拿因这棵蓖麻大大喜乐。And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

左咡

.次日黎明，神却安排一条虫子咬这蓖麻，以致枯槁。But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
