1 BUT it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was greatly grieved. 2 And he prayed to the LORD and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I fled before to Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious and merciful God, patient and of great kindness, and thou art ready to turn away calamity. 3 Therefore now, O my LORD, take my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then the LORD said to him, Are you very sorrowful?
