Let them not graze or drink water. 8 But let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out to God with fervor.

God may turn and relent and withdraw His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, He relented and did not bring upon them the disaster He had threatened. 1 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. 2 And he prayed to the LORD, saying, 'O LORD, isn’t this what I said while I was still in my own land? That is why I tried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from sending calamity. 3 Now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 But the LORD said, 'Is it right for you to be angry?'
