1But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

2He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

3Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.”

4Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”

5Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
