Jonah's Anger at God's Mercy

Jonah 4:1-4

and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and he saith, `I pray Thee, O Jehovah, is not this my word while I was in mine own land--therefore I was beforehand to flee to Tarshish--that I have known that Thou art a God, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, and repenting of evil?

And Jehovah saith, `Is doing good displeasing to thee?'
