Jonah 4:1-4

21st Century King James Version

4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

² And he prayed unto the Lord and said, “I pray Thee, O Lord, was not this what I said 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 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?”
