Jonah 4:1-4

American Standard Version

4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. ² And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I ^[a]hasted to flee unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil. ³ Therefore now, O Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. ⁴ And Jehovah said, ^[b]Doest thou well to be angry?
