Jonah’s Anger
4 But this was a great evil to Jonah, and he became (A)angry. 2 And he (B)prayed to Yahweh and said, “Ah! O Yahweh, was not this my word to myself while I was still in my own land? Therefore I went ahead to (C)flee to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a (D)gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning evil. 3 So now, O Yahweh, please (E)take my [a]life from me, for death is (F)better to me than life.” 4 And Yahweh said, “Do you have good reason to be angry?”
