1 Jonah was very upset about this, and he became angry.

2 So he prayed to the LORD, |LORD, isn't this what I said would happen when I was still in my own country? That's why I tried to run to Tarshish in the first place. I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, patient, and always ready to forgive and to reconsider your threats of destruction.

3 So now, LORD, take my life. I'd rather be dead than alive.|

4 The LORD asked, |What right do you have to be angry?|
