Commentary on Jonah 3:9

Theological / Devotional

Who can tell? It is doubtful that Jonah had given any assurance of a possible reversal of the divine decree. His anger at the sparing of the city (ch. 4:1) indicates that he had not. Nevertheless he was well aware of God’s merciful character (ch. 4:2).
