Jonah 4:2-3

View Full Chapter

2He prayed to the LORD, “Isn’t this what I said, LORD, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.

3Now, LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
