2. और उसने यहोवा से यह कह कर प्रार्थना की, हे यहोवा जब मैं अपने देश में था, तब क्या मैं यही बात न कहता था? इसी कारण मैं ने तेरी आज्ञा सुनते ही तर्शीश को भाग जाने के लिये फुर्ती की; क्योंकि मैं जानता था कि तू अनुग्रहकारी और दयालु परमेश्वर है, विलम्ब से कोप करने वाला करूणानिधान है, और दु:ख देने से प्रसन्न नहीं होता।

ERVHI
2. उसने यहोवा से शिकायत करते हुए कहा, “मैं जानता था कि ऐसा ही होगा! मैं तो अपने देश में था, और तूने ही मुझसे यहाँ आने को कहा था। उसी समय मुझे यह पता था कि तू इस पापी नगर के लोगों को क्षमा कर देगा। मैंने इसलिये तर्शीश भाग जाने की सोची थी। मैं जानता था कि तू एक दयालु परमेश्वर है! मैं जानता था कि तू करूणा दर्शाता है और लोगों को दण्ड देना नहीं चाहता! मुझे पता था कि तू करूणा से पूर्ण है! मुझे ज्ञान था कि यदि इन लोगों ने पाप करना छोड़ दिया तो तू इनके विनाश की अपनी योजनाओं को बदल देगा।
