And he rose up early the next morning, and wrung out the fleece, and dew dropped from the fleece, a bowl full of water. And Gideon said to God, “Do not, indeed, be angered with Your wrath with me, and I will speak yet once (more); but I will even yet make one (more) test with the fleece. Let now the dryness be upon the fleece only, and let there be dew on all the ground.” AND GOD DID SO IN THAT NIGHT; and there was dryness on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew" (Judges 6:36-40).

And it happened at the same time to rise the sun, that GOD COMMANDED A BURNING HOT WIND; and the sun struck on the head of Jonah, and he fainted, and renounced his life, and said, “(It is) better to me (for) me to die than to be living.”" (Jonah 4:6-8).
God then explained to Jonah what He was trying to communicate to Jonah by influencing natural events around Jonah: "God said to Jonah, “You have not been exceedingly grieved for the gourd, have you?” But he said, “I have been exceedingly grieved, even to death!” So the LORD said, “You had pity on the gourd, for which you did not toil over it, and you did not nourish it; which came up by night, and perished by night. But I would have pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which dwell more than twelve ten thousands of people, who do not know their right (hand) or their left, and many beasts of burden, would I not?”" (Jonah 4:9-11).
