Jonah 4:1-5
Jonah 4:1-5 TPT
Jonah was extremely upset that God would show mercy to Nineveh. Indignant, he fell into a rage. He prayed to YAHWEH and said, “God, I knew this is what would happen even before I left home. For I know that you are a tender, compassionate God, who is extremely patient, rich in faithful love. And I know you are always ready to relent from inflicting disaster. That was why I attempted to flee to Tarshish. So now, YAHWEH, please take my life, for death seems better to me than life.” YAHWEH replied, “What good reason do you have to be so angry?” Then Jonah went out east of Nineveh, where he made himself a makeshift shelter. He sat there under its shade waiting to see what would happen to the city.
