Jonah warned the Ninevites. They repented. God decided not to punish them. (Jonah 3)
Jonah 4:
I don't think so. The next thing he did was to pray to God:
I don't think so. Earlier, he was angry that God did not destroy the Ninivites. Now, he was angry that God destroyed the shading plant. Jonah was angry at God's acts but not directly at God himself. God reacted kindly to Jonah despite his irrational anger.
Jonah 4:
Jonah was a man with extreme emotions. He was angry because God had mercy on the Ninevites. Was Jonah angry at God?1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
I don't think so. The next thing he did was to pray to God:
Jonah contrasted his anger with God's. In some psychological sense, he was angry at himself:2 And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.
The Lord disagreed:3 Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
God wasn't angry with Jonah. He didn't take Jonah's anger personally. God was nice to the Ninevites and now he was nice to Jonah:4 And the LORD said, “Do you do well to be angry?”
Jonah's emotions were unstable and extreme. One moment, he wanted to die; the next moment, he was extremely happy.6 Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.
At this point, Jonah wanted to die again.7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
Was Jonah directly angry at God himself?9 But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.”
I don't think so. Earlier, he was angry that God did not destroy the Ninivites. Now, he was angry that God destroyed the shading plant. Jonah was angry at God's acts but not directly at God himself. God reacted kindly to Jonah despite his irrational anger.
