Jonah 4:1-5
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.” 4The LordH3068 saidH559, “Do you have goodH3190 reasonH3190 to be angryH2734?”
5Then JonahH3124 wentH3318 out from the cityH5892 and satH3427 eastH6924 of 10it. ThereH8033 he madeH6213 a shelterH5521 for himself and 11satH3427 underH8478 it in the shadeH6738 untilH5704H834 he could seeH7200 whatH4100 would happenH1961 in the cityH5892.
