Jonah’s Anger

4 But this was a great evil to Jonah, and he became ^(A)angry.

² And he ^(A)prayed to Yahweh and said, “Ah! O Yahweh, was not this my word to myself while I was still in my own land? Therefore I went ahead to ^(B)flee to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a ^(C)gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning evil.

⁴ And Yahweh said, “Do you have good reason to be angry?”

⁹ Then God said to Jonah, “Do you have good reason to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “I have good reason to be angry, even to death.”
