Jonah 4:1-2

1599 Geneva Bible

4 The great goodness of God toward his creatures.

¹ Therefore it displeased ^[a]Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

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 prevented it to flee unto ^[b]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.
