Jonah 4:2-4

Good News Translation

^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. ^3 (B)Now then, Lord, let me die. I am better off dead than alive.”

⁴ The Lord answered, “What right do you have to be angry?”
