Jon Jonah, chapter Book of Jonah, chapter 4
Jonah’s Anger at the LORD’s Compassion
So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to flee toward Tarshish. I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion — One who relents from sending disaster. Exo 34:6; Psa 86:5; Jol 2:13; Nam 1:3
