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.

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.

你们要撕心般地悔改，而不是撕裂衣服。归向你们的上帝耶和华吧，因为祂有恩典和怜悯，不轻易发怒，有无限的慈爱，不忍心降灾祸。谁知道呢？或许祂转念心生怜悯，给你们留下祝福，使你们可以再次向你们的上帝耶和华献上素祭和奠祭。

但主啊，你是有怜悯和恩典的上帝，不轻易发怒，充满慈爱，无比信实。

耶和华在摩西面前经过，并且宣告说：“我是耶和华，我是耶和华，是有怜悯和恩典的上帝，不轻易发怒，充满慈爱，无比信实，向千万人彰显慈爱，赦免罪恶和过犯，但决不免除罪责，必向子孙追讨父辈的罪债，直到三四代。”

‘耶和华不轻易发怒，充满慈爱；祂赦免罪恶和过犯，但决不免除罪责，必向子孙追讨父辈的罪债，直到三四代。’从他们离开埃及直到现在，你一直在饶恕他们，求你以伟大的慈爱再次赦免这些人的罪。”

耶和华有恩典和怜悯，不轻易发怒，充满慈爱。

主啊，你良善仁慈，乐意赦免，以无限的慈爱待一切求告你的人。

可是，约拿却起身逃往他施，想躲避耶和华。他到了约帕港，看见一艘要开往他施的船，就付了船费，上了船，想和众人一起去他施，好躲避耶和华。

有何神明像你一样赦免罪恶，饶恕你幸存子民的过犯？你不会永远发怒，因为你乐于施恩。

但上帝充满怜悯，赦免了他们的罪，没有毁灭他们。祂多次收住怒气，没有完全发出祂的烈怒。

上帝看见他们改邪归正，不再作恶，就怜悯他们，没有像所说的那样毁灭他们。

于是，耶和华心生怜悯，说：“我不降这灾了。”

以法莲啊，我怎能舍弃你？以色列啊，我怎能弃绝你？我怎能使你的下场如押玛？我怎能对待你如对待洗扁？我的心意改变，我满怀怜爱。我不再发烈怒，也不再毁灭以法莲。因为我是上帝，不是世人，是住在你们中间的圣者，我必不带着烈怒来临。

如果他们悔过自新，我必施怜悯，取消我原本要降给他们的灾祸。

耶和华听了摩西的话，就心生怜悯，不把所说的灾祸降在百姓身上。

自己在旷野走了一天的路程，来到一棵罗腾树下，坐下来祷告求死，说：“耶和华啊，我受够了，求你取走我的性命吧，我不比我的祖先强。”

耶和华啊，我还要苦候多久呢？求你怜悯你的仆人。

耶和华啊，你欺骗我，我被你骗了。你制服我，胜过我。如今，我成了人们终日嘲笑、戏弄的对象。

于是，耶和华心生怜悯，说：“我也不降这灾了。”

律法教师想证明自己有理，就问：“那么，谁是我的邻居呢？”
