Jonah’s Displeasure Rebuked

4 But it greatly displeased Jonah, and he became ^(C)angry. ² Then he ^(D)prayed to the Lord and said, “Please Lord, was this not ^[b]what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore in anticipation of this I ^(E)fled to Tarshish, since I knew that You are a ^(F)gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and One who relents of disaster.
