Jonah 4:1-3
1But it greatlyH1419 displeasedH7489 JonahH3124 and he becameH2734 1angryH2734.
2He 2prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “PleaseH577 LordH3068, was not thisH2088 3whatH1697 I saidH1696 whileH5704 I was stillH5704 in my own countryH127? ThereforeH5921H3651 4in order to forestallH6923 this I 5fledH1272 to TarshishH8659, for I knewH3045 that You are a 6graciousH2587 and compassionateH7349 GodH410, slowH750 to angerH639 and abundantH7227 in lovingkindnessH2617, and one who relentsH5162 concerningH5921 calamityH7463.
3Therefore nowH6258, O LordH3068, pleaseH4994 7takeH3947 my 8lifeH5315 from me, for deathH4194 is 9betterH2896 to me thanH4480 lifeH2425.”
