Jonah 4:1-4

1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, ▼

Hebrew it was exceedingly evil to Jonah
and b he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? c That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a d gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and e relenting from disaster. 3 f Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, g for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the Lord said, h “Do you do well to be angry?”
