8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching ^aeast wind, ^band the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he ^cwas faint. And he asked that he might die and said, ^d“It is better for me to die than to live.” 9 But God said to Jonah, ^e“Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.”

Micah 7:9

9 ^fI will bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until ^ghe pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
^hHe will bring me out to the light;
I shall look upon his vindication.

Hebrews 12:5-12

5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

ⁱ“My son, ^jdo not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For ^kthe Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. ^lGod is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, ^min which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to ⁿthe Father of spirits ^oand live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, ^pthat we may share his holiness. 11 ^qFor the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields ^rthe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

12 Therefore ^slift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
