- 4:11 A selfish Jonah bemoans his personal loss of a gourd plant for shade without any concern over the threat of loss of life to the Ninevites through the destruction of their city. If a solicitous God provided the plant for a prophet without the latter’s effort or merit, how much more is God disposed to show love and mercy toward all people, Jew and Gentile, when they repent of their sins and implore divine pardon. God’s care goes beyond human beings to all creation, as in Job 38.
Jonah 4:11
New International Version
11 And should I not have concern(A) for the great city of Nineveh,(B) in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”
