Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Se quejó de ello ante el Señor: ―Señor, esto es exactamente lo que pensé que harías, cuando todavía estaba en mi tierra y me dijiste que viniera a Nínive. Por esta razón hui a Tarsis. Yo sabía que eres un Dios compasivo, misericordioso, que te cuesta mucho enojarte y que eres lleno de bondad. Yo sabía que con facilidad dejarías la idea de destruir a este pueblo.

King James Version (KJV)
