Jonah 3:8–4:2

⁸and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. ⁹Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? ¹⁰And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did it not.

Chapter 4

¹And it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. ²And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Ah, Jehovah, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? Therefore I was minded to flee at first unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious •God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
