• Jonah too faithfully represents the Jews in his unwillingness that God should show mercy to the Gentiles. The effect of this uncomely narrowness and indeed failure in bearing a real witness to the true God is, that far from being the channel of blessings to the Gentiles, he brings a curse upon them. (“Jonah” by W. Kelly)
• What a sad and solemn contrast to Jonah does that “great wind” present! Both were sent by the same Lord. The stormy wind goes when and where it is sent, “fulfilling His word.” Psa. 148:8. Man, the highest work of His creation, deliberately chooses his own will and refuses to go when his Lord and Master sends him! (“Jonah 1: Jonah Rebels” by G.C. Willis)
