 ויתפלל אל־יהוה ויאמר אנה יהוה הלוא־זה דברי עד־היותי על־אדמתי על־כן קדמתי לברח תרשישה כי ידעתי כי אתה אל־חנון ורחום ארך אפים ורב־חסד ונחם על־הרעה׃Strong's ConcordanceHolman Christian Standard Bible 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 merciful  and  compassionate  God,  slow  to become angry, rich  in faithful love, and  One who relents  from  sending disaster.
 
 New American Standard Bible
 He prayed to the LORD and said, "Please LORD, was not this what I said while I was still in my [own] country? Therefore in order to forestall this I fled to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning calamity.
 
 King James Bible
 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.
