2. ಯೋನನು ಯೆಹೋವನಿಗೆ ದೂರು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾ, “ಇದು ಹೀಗಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯೆಂದು ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬರಲು ನನಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದವನು ನೀನೇ. ಈ ದುಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟಣದ ಜನರನ್ನು ನೀನು ಕ್ಷಮಿಸುತ್ತೀ ಎಂದು ನನಗೆ ಆಗಲೇ ಗೊತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಾನು ತಾರ್ಷೀಷಿಗೆ ಓಡಿಹೋಗಲು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದೆನು. ನೀನು ದಯಾಪರನಾದ, ಕೃಪಾಪೂರ್ಣನಾದ, ಕೋಪಗೊಳ್ಳುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಧಾನವಾದ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹಾಕನಿಕರವುಳ್ಳ ದೇವರೆಂದು ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಆ ಜನರು ಪಾಪ ಮಾಡುವದನ್ನು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿದರೆ, ನೀನು ನಿನ್ನ ಯೋಜನೆಯಂತೆ ಅವರನ್ನು ನಾಶಮಾಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿತ್ತು.
