Jonah 4:2 CPDV

¹  And Jonah was afflicted with a great affliction, and he was angry.

²  And he prayed to the Lord, and he said, 'I beg you, Lord, was this not my word, when I was still in my own land? Because of this, I knew beforehand to flee into Tarshish. For I know that you are a lenient and merciful God, patient and great in compassion, and forgiving despite ill will.

³  And now, Lord, I ask you to take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.'

⁴  And the Lord said, 'Do you really think you are right to be angry?'
