Jonah 4:1-5

1But it displeased JonahH3124 exceedingly, and he was angryH2734. 2And he prayedH6419 unto Jehovah, and saidH559, I prayH6419 thee, O Jehovah, wasH1961 not this my sayingH559, when I wasH1961 yet in my country? ThereforeH3651 I hasted to fleeH1272 unto TarshishH8659; for I knewH3045 that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and merciful, slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evilH7451. 3ThereforeH6258 nowH6258, O Jehovah, takeH3947, I beseech thee, my lifeH5315 from me; for it is betterH2896 for me to die than to live. 4And Jehovah saidH559, Doest thou wellH3190 to be angryH2734? 5Then JonahH3124 wentH3318 out of the cityH5892, and satH3427 on the eastH6924 side of the cityH5892, and there madeH6213 him a boothH5521, and satH3427 under it in the shadeH6738, till he might seeH7200 what would becomeH1961 of the cityH5892.
