Commentary on Jonah 2:4

Theological / Devotional

I said. Compare Ps. 31:22.

Yet I will look. The LXX puts this in the form of a question, “Shall I indeed look again toward thy holy temple?” A change in vowel pointing yields the same reading in the Hebrew. The question seems preferable inasmuch as the context indicates that at this point hope had not yet established itself.

Toward thy holy temple. Compare 1 Kings 8:30; Ps. 18:6; 28:2; Dan. 6:10.
