Jonah 4:1-4

1But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

2And he prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.

3Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live."

4And the Lord said, "Do you do well to be angry?"
