Jonah 4:1-4 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          1Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became angry.
          2So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to flee toward Tarshish. I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion — One who relents from sending disaster.
          3And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

⁴But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”
