The context
1 · This verse (above)
2And he prayed to YHWH and said, “I beg you, YHWH, was this not my word while I was still in my land? That is why I hurried to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are El, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in loyal love, and one who relents concerning evil.
