Numbers 14:19New International Reader's VersionLord, your love is great. So forgive the sin of these people. Forgive them just as you have done from the time they left Egypt until now.” See the chapter |
He prayed to the Lord. Here is what Jonah said to him. “Lord, isn’t this exactly what I thought would happen when I was still at home? That is what I tried to prevent by running away to Tarshish. I knew that you are gracious. You are tender and kind. You are slow to get angry. You are full of love. You are a God who takes pity on people. You don’t want to destroy them.
