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.

He prayed to the Lord. Here is what Jonah said to him.“ Lord, isn’t this exactly what I thought would happen when I was still at home? That is what I tried to prevent by running away to Tarshish. I knew that you are gracious. You are tender and kind. You are slow to get angry. You are full of love. You are a God who takes pity on people. You don’t want to destroy them.

And he prayed to the Lord and said,“ O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.

So he complained to the Lord about it:“ Didn’t I say before I left home that you would do this, Lord? That is why I ran away to Tarshish! I knew that you are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. You are eager to turn back from destroying people.

He prayed to the LORD,“ Please, LORD, isn’t this what I said while I was still in my own country? That’s why I fled toward Tarshish in the first place. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, and one who relents from sending disaster.

Then he prayed to the Lord and said,“ Please Lord, was this not what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore in anticipation of this I fled to Tarshish, since I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in mercy, and One who relents of disaster.

So he prayed to the Lord, and said,“ Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.

And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

He prayed to the Lord:“ Please, Lord, isn’t this what I said while I was still in my own country? That’s why I fled toward Tarshish in the first place. I knew that You are a merciful and compassionate God, slow to become angry, rich in faithful love, and One who relents from sending disaster.

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 fled before unto 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.

He prayed to the LORD and said,“ Oh, LORD, this is just what I thought would happen when I was in my own country. This is what I tried to prevent by attempting to escape to Tarshish!– because I knew that you are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in mercy, and one who relents concerning threatened judgment.

He prayed to Yahweh, and said,“ Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

你们要撕裂你们的心肠，不要撕裂你们的衣服。并要归向耶和华你们的神，因为他有恩典有怜悯，不轻易发怒，并且有丰盛的慈爱，随时转意不降灾祸。有谁知道或许他会转意，并且施慈爱，留下余福，就是留下献给耶和华你们的神的素祭和奠祭。

但是，主啊！你是有怜悯有恩典的神，你不轻易发怒，并且有极大的慈爱和信实。

耶和华在摩西面前经过，并且宣告说：“耶和华，耶和华，是有怜悯有恩典的神，不轻易发怒，并且有丰盛的慈爱和诚实，为千千万万人留下慈爱，赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶。一定要清除罪，追讨罪孽自父及子至孙，直到三四代。”

‘耶和华不轻易发怒，且有丰盛的慈爱；他赦免罪孽和过犯；绝不以有罪的为无罪，必追讨罪孽，自父到子，直到三四代。’求你照着你的大慈爱，饶恕这人民的罪孽，好像你从埃及直到现在，常赦免这人民一样。”

耶和华有恩典有怜悯，不轻易发怒，大有慈爱。

主啊！你是良善，又乐意饶恕人的，向你呼求的，你都以丰盛的慈爱待他们。

可是约拿却起来，要逃往他施去，躲避耶和华；他下到约帕，找到了一只要开往他施去的船；他给了钱，就上船（“上船”原文作“下船”），要和他们同往他施去，离开耶和华。

有何神像你，赦免罪孽，不追究产业之余民的过犯呢？他不永远怀怒，因为他喜爱怜悯。

他却有怜悯，赦免罪孽，没有把他们灭绝，并且多次抑制自己的怒气，没有完全宣泄他的烈怒。

神看见他们所作的，就是悔改离开恶行，神就转意，不把所说的灾祸降在他们身上了。

耶和华对这事改变心意，耶和华说：“这事不会发生。”

“以法莲啊，我怎能舍弃你！以色列啊，我怎能把你交出来！我怎能对你如同押玛，待你好像洗扁呢！我的心肠翻转，我的怜悯发动。我必不让我的烈怒发作，必不再毁灭以法莲；因为我是神，不是世人；我是你们中间的圣者，必不会含怒而来。

如果我论到的那一邦转离他们的恶行，我就必回心转意，不把我原定的灾祸降给他们。

于是，耶和华改变初衷，不把他所说的祸降在他的人民身上。

他自己却在旷野走了一天的路，来到一棵罗腾树下，就坐在那里求死，说：“耶和华啊，现在已经够了，求你取我的性命吧，因为我并不比我的列祖好。”

耶和华啊！要到几时呢？求你回心转意，求你怜恤你的仆人。

耶和华啊！你愚弄了我，我受了愚弄；你比我强大，你胜了我。我整天成了别人讥笑的对象，人人都嘲弄我。

耶和华对这事改变心意。主耶和华说：“这事也不会发生。”

那人想证明自己有理，就对耶稣说：“谁是我的邻舍呢？”
