# God appointed a hot east wind

God caused a hot wind from the east to blow on Jonah. If in your language wind can only mean a cool or cold wind, then you may need to use a different word. Alternate translation: "God sent a very hot warmth from the east to Jonah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

"he became very weak" or "he lost his strength"

# It is better for me to die than to live
|

"I would prefer to die than live" or "Because I want to die. I do not want to live." See how you translated this in [Jonah 4:3](../04/03.md).
