Old TestamentJonahJonah’s Discontent · 4:1–54:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.4:2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.4:3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.4:4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?4:5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
