Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion
1But it displeased Jonah exceedingly,1 and yhe was angry. 2And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? zThat is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a agracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and arelenting from disaster. 3bTherefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, cfor it is better for me to die than to live.” 4And the Lord said, d“Do you do well to be angry?”
