“Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:”
The LORD's question about whether Jonah has regard for the plant for which he did not labor nor cause to grow and which came into being in a night and perished in a night indicates the absurdity of Jonah's concern for the plant. The plant's ephemeral existence emphasizes its insignificance.
