Charles Ellicott Commentary Jonah 4:10

"And Jehovah said, Thou hast had regard for the gourd, for which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:" — Jonah 4:10 (ASV)

Which came up. —The original is one of those forceful idioms impossible to reproduce: which son of a night was, and son of a night perished.
