In context — Jonah 4:2
And he prayed to the LORD and said, “Please, LORD, is this not my word while I was still on my land? Therefore I went ahead to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious God and compassionate, slow to anger, great in steadfast love, and relenting concerning the calamity.”
