But Jonah was greatly displeased and became furious.
Jonah 4:1 In-Context
1
But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry.
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?”

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.
