1. And this was greatly displeasing to Jonah, and he became furious.
2. And he prayed to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh, was this not what I said while I was in my homeland? Therefore I originally fled to Tarshish, because I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and having great steadfast love, and one who relents concerning calamity.
3. And so then, Yahweh, please take my life from me, because for me death is better than life!”
4. And Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
5. And Jonah went out from the city and sat down east of the city, and he made for himself a shelter there. And he sat under it in the shade, waiting to see what would happen with the city.
