Jonah 4:1-3

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.

³ “Therefore, O LORD, I beg You, take my life from me now. For it is better for me to die than to live.”
