Jonah 4:1-2

Revised Geneva Translation

4 Therefore it displeased Jonah exceedingly; and he was angry.

² And he prayed to the LORD, and said, “Ah now, O LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore, I fled to Tarshish before. For I knew that You are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness. And You turn from evil.
