He prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please, LORD, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

ગુજરાતીયૂના ૪:૨
તેથી યૂનાએ ઈશ્વરને પ્રાર્થના કરીને કહ્યું, “હે, ઈશ્વર, જયારે હું મારા દેશમાં હતો ત્યારે જ શું મેં એવું કહ્યું ન હતું? આ કારણે જ મેં ત્યારે તાર્શીશ નાસી જવાનો પ્રયત્ન કર્યો હતો. કેમ કે હું જાણતો હતો કે તમે કોપ કરવામાં કૃપાળુ અને કરુણાળુ ઈશ્વર છો, કોપ કરવામાં મંદ અને દયાળુ છો. માણસો પર વિપત્તિ લાવવાથી તમને દુઃખ થાય છે.
हिन्दीयोना ४:२
और उसने यहोवा से यह कहकर प्रार्थना की , “हे यहोवा जब मैं अपने देश में था, तब क्या मैं यही बात न कहता था? इसी कारण मैंने तेरी आज्ञा सुनते ही तर्शीश को भाग जाने के लिये फुर्ती की; क्योंकि मैं जानता था कि तू अनुग्रहकारी और दयालु परमेश्वर है, और विलम्ब से कोप करनेवाला करुणानिधान है, और दुःख देने से प्रसन्न नहीं होता।
