Jonah 4:2

New American Standard Bible

² Then he ^(A)prayed to the Lord and said, “Please Lord, was this not ^[a]what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore in anticipation of this I ^(B)fled to Tarshish, since I knew that You are a ^(C)gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and One who relents of disaster.
