ISV(i)
1 Jonah’s Anger at God’s KindnessGreatly displeased, Jonah flew into a rage.
2 So he prayed to the LORD, “LORD, isn’t this what I said while I was still in my home country? That’s why I fled previously to Tarshish, because I knew you’re a compassionate God, slow to anger, overflowing with gracious love, and reluctant to send trouble.
3 Therefore, LORD, please kill me, because it’s better for me to die than to live!”
