Jonah 4:2

He prayed to the Lord (Yahweh) and said, "O (Ack – Hebr. ana), Lord (Yahweh), was not this my word (what I thought would happen) when I was in my own country? That is why I tried to flee to Tarshish! I knew that you are a gracious (Hebr. chanon) and merciful God (El), slow to anger and rich in grace (loving care – Hebr. chesed), ready to repent (feel sorrow and regret – Hebr. nachum) of the evil you have threatened.
