Jonas 4

Haimo of Auxerre

Jonas 4:2

Partly Jonah prays, partly he complains, saying he did not wish to flee.

Jonas 4:4

Jonah understood that Israel would be destroyed. For the Lord did not say, "You are angered evilly," lest He seem to blame the saddened man; on the other hand, He did not say, "You are angered rightly," lest He be contrary to His own sentence. Therefore, He questions him concerning the causes of his grief, in order that he may answer, or if he were silent, he may by his silence confirm the judgment of God.

Jonas 4:11

For the good are understood by the right hand, bad by the left.
