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

2. And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

3. Therefore now, O Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4. And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry? (Jonah 4:1-4, ASV)

3. And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray Thee, my soul from me, for better [is] my death than my life.' 4. And Jehovah saith, 'Is doing good displeasing to thee?' (Jonah 4:1-4, YLT)
