vers. 10 Text ¶And the Lord said: Thou hast pitied the Gourd, for the which thou labouredst not, neither madest it to grow: it was the daughter of one night, and as the daughter of one night it passed away. That is, it sprang up in one night, and in one night also it withered away. vers. 11 And should not I spare Nineveh that great City, in the which are six score thousand persons, which cannot discern between their right hand and their left, and also much Cattle?

Here God revealeth for what purpose he suddenly brought up the Gourd, and then would have it to perish and wither away by the biting of the Worm, even that Jonah might learn, that he dealt to unnaturally toward the Ninevites. ⟨image 79⟩And although we see that the holy Prophet fell into horrible affection, yet after a sort God having scorned him, admonished of his folly. For under the figure of the Gourd, be declared how ungently he desired the destruction of so populous a City, as was Nineveh.
