1 But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry.

2 He prayed to the LORD and said, |Please LORD, was not this what I said while I was still in my [own] country? Therefore in order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning calamity.

3 |Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for death is better to me than life.|

4 The LORD said, |Do you have good reason to be angry?|
