Jonah 4:1 - 4​​​

​​

Jonah’s Anger at the Lord’s Compassion​

​​​​​​

1 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He 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. 3 Now, Lord, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

​

4 But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
