Jonah 4:1–7

1

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

2

He prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please, LORD, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

3

Therefore now, LORD, take, I beg you, my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
