1. And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry:
2. And he prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, is not this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? therefore I went before to flee into Tharsis: for I know that thou art a gracious and merciful God, patient, and of much compassion, and easy to forgive evil.
3. And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live.
4. And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry?
5. Then Jonas went out of the city, and sat toward the east side of the city: and he made himself a booth there, and he sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would befall the city.
