Jonah 4:2

And he (Jonah the prophet was angry that the Ninevites turned from their evil ways and were no longer in danger of punishment) prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray [beg] thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?  Therefore I fled [ran away] before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art [You are] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest [to be sorry; have pity] thee of the evil.
King James Version
