Commentary on Jonah 4:5

Theological / Devotional

Till he might see. Some have suggested that Jonah interpreted the question, “Doest thou well to be angry?” (v. 4), as implying that in his haste he had misjudged the divine intention, and therefore there was still the possibility that Nineveh might be destroyed; others, that Jonah may have felt the repentance of the people of Nineveh was not sincere, and God would punish them after all. It may rather be that his reaction merely reflected his stubborn attitude and insistence that God perform that which He had threatened.
