SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–11: The LORD showed Jonah his mercy and compassion

Jonah was upset that the LORD had not destroyed the people of Nineveh, and he argued with the LORD about it. The LORD taught Jonah that Jonah, too, should have compassion on the people of Nineveh. The LORD caused a plant to grow to shelter Jonah from the sun and then sent a worm to destroy it. When Jonah was upset about the plant being destroyed, the LORD told him that if he could be concerned about a mere plant, it was more fitting that the LORD should be concerned about people—as people are more important to him than plants. This was to show Jonah how much the LORD cared about people—even the enemies of the Israelites.

4:7a

When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm

4:7b

that attacked the plant so that it withered.

4:7a–b

When dawn came the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant so that it withered: Jonah’s relief only lasted one day, because the next day God sent a worm which chewed the vine so that it withered and died. Then there was no longer enough shade to protect Jonah from the burning sun.

God appointed a worm: The Hebrew verb minneh translated here as appointed is the same word as in 1:17a and 4:6a. See the notes on those verses. The same verb also occurs in 4:8a. In each case God “provided” something which affected Jonah. In all four verses the BSB uses appointed. If you can use the same verb in the four verses, you should do so. The important thing in each case was that God initiated the action and was in control.

worm: Scholars have suggested a number of possible translations for the Hebrew term translated worm in the BSB and most other English versions. Some other suggestions are: larva, maggot, weevil, beetle, or centipede4.7 Sasson, p. 301. If possible, use a general word for this creature, one that refers to something that eats stems or leaves.

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְמַ֤ן הָֽ⁠אֱלֹהִים֙ תּוֹלַ֔עַת

and=he/it_assigned the=ʼElohīm worm

Alternate translation: [then God sent a worm]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּיבָֽשׁ

and,it_withered

The implication of it withered is that the plant became dry and died and would no longer shelter Jonah from the hot sun. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [so that the plant died]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:1-7 The account takes an unexpected turn. Jonah, himself a recipient of God’s mercy, complains about the mercy that the Lord has dispensed to the Assyrians. The prophet’s insolence only magnifies God’s grace (see 4:8-11 for God’s response).
