| Jonah 4:2 | And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my 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 lovingkindness, and you repent of the evil. | and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and he saith, `I pray Thee, O Jehovah, is not this my word while I was in mine own land therefore I was beforehand to flee to Tarshish that I have known that Thou [art] a God, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, and repenting of evil? |
| Jonah 4:3 | So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life. | Therefore now, Yahweh, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live." | And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray Thee, my soul from me, for better [is] my death than my life.` |

| Jonah 4:10 | And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night; | Yahweh said, "You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night. | And Jehovah saith, `Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou didst not labour, neither didst thou nourish it, which a son of a night was, and a son of a night perished, |
| Jonah 4:11 | And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle? | Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?" | and I have not I pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than twelve myriads of human beings, who have not known between their right hand and their left and much cattle!` |
