Jonah 4:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
2
Then he prayed to the
Lord
and said, 'Please
Lord
, was this not what I said when I was still in my
own
country? Therefore in anticipation
of this
I fled to Tarshish, since I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and One who relents of disaster.
3
So now,
Lord
, please take my life from me, for death is better to me than life.'
4
But the
Lord
said, 'Do you have a good reason to be angry?'
5
Then Jonah left the city and sat down east of it. There he made a shelter for himself and sat under it in the shade, until he could see what would happen in the city.
King James Version
Chapter 4
2
And he prayed unto the
Lord
, and said, I pray thee, O
Lord
, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3
Therefore now, O
Lord
, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4
Then said the
Lord
, Doest thou well to be angry?
5
So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
2
He prayed to the
Lord
: "Please,
Lord
, isn’t this what I thought while I was still in my own country? That’s why I fled toward Tarshish in the first place. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, and one who relents from sending disaster.
3
And now,
Lord
, take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live."
4
The
Lord
asked, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
5
Jonah left the city and found a place east of it. He made himself a shelter there and sat in its shade to see what would happen to the city.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
2
So he complained to the
Lord
about it: 'Didn’t I say before I left home that you would do this,
Lord
? That is why I ran away to Tarshish! I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people.
3
Just kill me now,
Lord
! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.'
4
The
Lord
replied, 'Is it right for you to be angry about this?'
5
Then Jonah went out to the east side of the city and made a shelter to sit under as he waited to see what would happen to the city.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
2
And he prayed to the
Lord
and said, "O
Lord
, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.
3
Therefore now, O
Lord
, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live."
4
And the
Lord
said, "Do you do well to be angry?"
5
Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city.
New International Version
Chapter 4
2
He prayed to the
Lord
, "Isn’t this what I said,
Lord
, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
3
Now,
Lord
, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live."
4
But the
Lord
replied, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
5
Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
2
So he prayed to the
Lord
, and said, “Ah,
Lord
, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You
are
a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.
3
Therefore now, O
Lord
, please take my life from me, for
it is
better for me to die than to live!”
4
Then the
Lord
said, “
Is it
right for you to be angry?”
5
So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
