2 Il adressa cette prière à l’Eternel : Ah, Eternel ! Je l’avais bien dit quand j’étais encore dans mon pays. Et c’est pour prévenir cela que je me suis enfui à Tarsis. Car je savais que tu es un Dieu plein de grâce et de compassion, lent à te mettre en colère et riche en amour, et que tu renonces volontiers à faire venir le malheur que tu as annoncé. 3 Maintenant, Eternel, prends-moi donc la vie, car la mort vaut mieux pour moi que la vie.

Jonah 4:2-4
King James Version
2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
