Jonah 4:1-2

Good News Translation

Jonah's Anger and God's Mercy

4 Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry. ^2 (A)So he prayed, “Lord, didn't I say before I left home that this is just what you would do? That's why I did my best to run away to Spain! I knew that you are a loving and merciful God, always patient, always kind, and always ready to change your mind and not punish.
