Jonah 4:1-3

Jonah 4:1-3 NCV

But this made Jonah very unhappy, and he became angry. He prayed to the LORD, “When I was still in my own country this is what I said would happen, and that is why I quickly ran away to Tarshish. I knew that you are a God who is kind and shows mercy. You don’t become angry quickly, and you have great love. I knew you would choose not to cause harm. So now I ask you, LORD, please kill me. It is better for me to die than to live.”
