Jonah 4:1-2
<< Jonah 3 | Jonah 4 | Micah 1 >>

Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion

4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, [1] and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.
